Skin sample collection. One skin sample was obtained from healthy donors (), while two biopsies were collected from each patient with psoriasis: one corresponding to a nonlesional area and the other to a lesional area (). The dermis and epidermis were isolated and processed individually to obtain adherent cells. Cells with a fibroblastoid morphology were harvested and analyzed to determine their distinctive MSC characteristics.
