Abstract excerpt
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex associated with late onset of muscular dystrophy has been found to show defective expression of plectin, an intracytoplasmic protein in hemidesmosomes. In this report, we examined ability of cell-to-matrix attachment of cultured keratinocytes derived from a case with this disease by various cell biological methods, and compared it to that of normal keratinocytes. In cell adhesion...
