Abstract excerpt

Recent progress in understanding the molecular organization of the cutaneous basement membrane zone (BMZ) has revealed an intricate network of structural proteins necessary for stable association of the epidermis to the underlying dermis. Molecular genetics of the cutaneous BMZ has also revealed...
