Concise Review: Transplantation of Human Hematopoietic Cells for Extracellular Matrix Protein Deficiency in Epidermolysis Bullosa

Abstract excerpt

The skin is constantly exposed to environmental insults and requires effective repair processes to maintain its protective function. Wound healing is severely compromised in people with congenital absence of structural proteins of the skin, such as in dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, a severe congenital mechanobullous disorder caused by mutations in collagen type VII. Remarkably, stem cell transplantation can...
