Topic

S.A.L.T. Skin associated lymphatic tissue. Tight networks of cells and diverse pathways of signaling molecules regulating this system. In the recent years new findings, concepts and applications raised the need and importance of a course which is discussing the immune system of the skin. During this course, cellular and molecular organization together with the dissection of the molecular pathways and epigenetic elements regulating the homeostasis and the development of the S.A.L.T. will be presented. Demonstrating the activatory and tolerogenic functions - in the case of inflammation and microbiota - and the discussion of autoimmune skin diseases will also be incorporated. Introduction of hypoxia, allergy and tumor immunology related to the skin and the representation of up to date in vitro experimental techniques, results and biotechnological applications in the field of skin related research will be demonstrated as well.
Topics:
1. Skin associated lymphatic tissue; hypersensitive reactions
2. Immunological relevance of the microbial community of the skin
3. Langerhans cell network in the skin
4. Immunological mechanisms behind wound healing
5. Atopic dermatitis, bullous skin diseases, psoriasis
6. Atopic dermatitis, bullous skin diseases, psoriasis
7. Signal transduction; epigenetics
8. Hypoxia
9. In vitro experimental techniques; autologous tissue transplantation; artificial skin
10. Allergy
11. Skin tumors, melanoma, new treatment strategies
12. Skin tumors, melanoma, new treatment strategies
13. Scleroderma
14. Scleroderma
