Abstract excerpt
Stem cells are crucial for the formation and maintenance of tissues and organs. To understand the role of stem cells in the pathogenesis of mosaic skin disorders, we generated inducible mouse models for two autosomal dominant keratin disorders, epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK) and epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS), that enable activation of the respective mutation in epidermal stem cells in a spatially and...
