• Lipids as therapeutic targets for barrier repair in skin diseases Research output

  The skin is our natural barrier and lipids are a key part of this barrier. In the outer skin layer, the stratum corneum (SC), lipids form a densely organized structure dependent on the composition of these lipids.

• A novel formulation for skin barrier repair : from ex vivo assessment towards clinical studies Research output

  The stratum corneum is the outermost skin layer and consists of dead cells embedded in a lipid matrix.

• An ex vivo human skin model for studying skin barrier repair Research output

  In the studies described in this study, we introduce a novel ex vivo human skin barrier repair model. To develop this, we removed the upper layer of the skin, the stratum corneum (SC) by a reproducible cyanoacrylate stripping technique.

• A novel biofilm for skin barrier repair of patients with atopic eczema Research project

  Atopic eczema is a skin disease with increasing incidence currently affecting 25% of the paediatric population. In atopic eczema the skin barrier function is reduced. This barrier is formed by the outermost layer of the skin called the stratum corneum (SC). The SC consists of terminally differentiated…

• Skin Barrier and Vaccination

  The Skin Barrier and Vaccination group is led by Prof. Joke Bouwstra. One of the key functions of the skin is its barrier function, which is located in the uppermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum. The stratum corneum consists of enucleated dead cells (corneocytes) embedded in a lipid matrix.…

• Human skin equivalent barrier optimization Research project

  The currently available in vitro generated human skin equivalents resemble the human skin in many aspects. However, some essential barrier characteristics do not fully mimic the native barrier. Consequently, the human skin equivalents cannot be used for screening of drugs for skin penetration.

• Knowledge of DNA repair in the fight against tumour cells Research Dossier: Collaborative and effective drug development

  What is the most effective way to eliminate tumour cells? The DNA repair mechanism could play an important role in increasing the effectiveness of chemotherapy in the fight against cancerous cells. If we are to influence this mechanism, we need fundamental knowledge about how the mechanism works.

• The importance of free fatty acid chain length for the skin barrier function in atopic eczema patients Research output

  An important feature of atopic eczema (AE) is a decreased skin barrier function. The stratum corneum (SC) lipids - comprised of ceramides (CERs), free fatty acids (FFAs) and cholesterol - fulfill a predominant role in the skin barrier function.

• Unlocking the secrets of DNA repair: Sarah’s curiosity might lead to new cancer treatments News - 7 November 2025

  How do cells repair their damaged DNA—and what happens when that process is hindered and cancer arises? Sarah Moser has taken a closer look during her PhD, uncovering surprising insights that could help improve future cancer treatments.
