Description

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the pathogenic mechanisms of Port Wine Stain, collect biopsy samples and blood samples to characterize exosomes and metabolites from Port Wine Stain.

Details

The researcher can detect the defects in nervous system innervation to cutaneous blood vessels contribute to the pathogenesis of Port Wine Stain . Unveiling the pathogenic mechanisms of PWS is crucial to the design of new therapeutic strategies and can use the results to improve current PWS therapeutic outcomes.
