Abstract excerpt
Junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB) is a severe blistering skin disease caused by mutations in genes encoding structural proteins essential for skin integrity. In this study, we developed a cell line suitable for gene expression studies of the JEB-associated COL17A1 encoding type XVII collagen (C17), a transmembrane protein involved in connecting basal keratinocytes to the underlying dermis of the skin. Using...
