    Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa–Associated Squamous-Cell Carcinoma: An Enigmatic Entity with Complex Pathogenesis

    No full text
    Expression of either collagen VII or the noncollagenous (NC1) fragment derived from it has been suggested to be indispensable for the development of squamous-cell carcinomas (SCCs) in patients affected by recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB). This view is challenged here by the observation that SCCs do develop in RDEB patients lacking expression of collagen VII altogether. The aggressive behavior of RDEB-associated SCCs remains unexplained

    Integration of Investigative Dermatology into the Global Biomedical Research Enterprise: Past, Present, and Future

    No full text
    Clinical dermatology as a specialty of medicine has made major strides over the past several decades, and major advances in both diagnostic and therapeutic management of skin diseases have benefited patients. The progress in clinical dermatology to a large extent has relied on the robust academic infrastructure developed in recent decades, and we argue that this process has been significantly enhanced by technical innovations in molecular medicine and the integration of cutaneous biology research into the global biomedical research enterprise
