A life-threatening skin condition that causes skin to die and fall off now has a cure, thanks to groundbreaking research from the University of Copenhagen. The disease, Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN), typically strikes as an autoimmune response triggered by common medications, antibiotics, or viral and bacterial infections. The condition has a 30% mortality rate. “By using this technology, we were able to show the underlying, molecular cause of TEN,” says Associate Professor Andreas Mund from the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research. His team developed Deep Visual Proteomics (DVP), a technology that combines high-resolution microscopes with artificial intelligence to … Continue reading Deadly Skin Disease with 30% Mortality Now Treatable: Study Shows 100% Recovery in Patients
