Structural Analysis of Human Tissue

Stopped early

Conditions studied: Cutis Laxa

In brief

The object of this study is to analyze fresh human skin samples using several up-to-date technologies to get parameters on the mechanical, biochemical and structural distribution of the main components of the capillary-tissue unit. Our working hypothesis is that both structural components of the dermis are not evenly distributed along parallel planes. The investigators further hypothesize the the distribution patterns determine functional and mechanical differences along dermal layers.
