Taking, Processing, Analyzing, Learning: Skin Punch Biopsies - More Than Just Fiber Count

One histological hallmark of neuropathies is the loss of intraepidermal nerve fibers, as shown by skin punch biopsy from the distal and proximal leg. While the procedure is fast and simple, even small but strategic inaccuracies may lead to clinically relevant misinterpretations. Following standardized guidelines for processing and analyzing skin samples is mandatory to ensure accurate data. This webinar will help teach the audience how to accurately obtain, process, and analyze skin punch biopsies for clinical and research purposes using short presentations and prerecorded videos.
