Cytokine concentration across the stratum corneum in atopic dermatitis and healthy controls

Abstract Tape stripping is a promising technique for assessment of epidermal biomarkers in inflammatory skin diseases. However, to facilitate its implementation in the clinical practice, a thorough validation regarding sampling strategy is needed. Knowledge of biomarkers variation in concentration a...
