Genética Molecular das Epidermólises Bolhosas Molecular Genetics of Epidermolysis Bullosa
O estudo das alterações moleculares das epidermólises bolhosas tem contribuído para que se compreenda melhor essas enfermidades. Na epidermólise bolhosa simples a maioria dos casos está associada com alteração nas citoqueratinas basais 5 (gen KRT5) e 14 (

A REPORT OF TWO CASES OF SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA OF THE HAND IN PATIENTS WITH EPIDERMOLYSIS BULLOSA DYSTROPHICA [PDF]
This is a report of two patients (brothers) with unusual generalized skin disorder, a recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) that appeared at childhood, who developed a progressive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in their right hands. Later both

Genetic Disorders of the Extracellular Matrix
ABSTRACT Mutations in the genes for extracellular matrix (ECM) components cause a wide range of genetic connective tissues disorders throughout the body. The elucidation of mutations and their correlation with pathology has been instrumental in understanding the roles of many ECM components. The pathological consequences of ECM protein mutations depend

ATP-Induced Cell Contraction with Epidermolysis Bullosa Dystrophica Recessive and Normal Dermal Fibroblasts [PDF]
Human dermal fibroblasts cultured on glass coverslips and permeabilized by glycerol can be induced to undergo cell shrinkage by the addition of ATP in buffer containing calcium and magnesium. They reduce in size by 72% in 10min.
