LH 7:2 is a monoclonal antibody that was raised against an extract of human epidermal cells and identifies epitope within the lamina densa basement membrane stratified squamous epithelia. Using indirect immunofluorescence we found intense labelling with at (EBM) normal skin, in skin samples from patients simplex, junctional, dominantly inherited dystrophic acquired forms epidermolysis bullosa (EB), as well bullous pemphigoid. Staining absent or only very faint generalized recessive EB...
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the commonest malignant neoplasm in white people. We present a large UK case-control study which conditional logistic regression analysis of age-matched and gender-matched data sets was used to compare, first, cases with controls (n=403) second, patients having multiple BCC those single (n=278). Eye/hair colour, occupation, skin type, social class, tumour site at presentation smoking history were assessed. Social class 1/2, type 1, red/blonde hair blue/green...
The genetic factors that mediate the pathogenesis of multiple primary cutaneous basal cell carcinomas (BCC) are largely unclear. Thus, some patients suffer many BCC (>30) and/or rapid accrual (number tumours/year from first presentation) further lesions. We have studied, in 827 English Caucasians, influence polymorphism carcinogen-metabolizing enzymes on susceptibility to this cancer. Accordingly, we describe, first, a cross-sectional analysis GSTM1, GSTT1, CYP2D6 and CYP1A1 genotypes tumour...
AA3 is a novel antibody raised against human amnion, which reacts with the basement membrane of various epithelia ectodermal origin. We use to examine epidermal zone in normal skin and different genetically determined types epidermolysis bullosa (EB), by indirect immunofluorescence. staining was dystrophic simplex EB, but markedly reduced lesional non‐blistered severe forms junctional EB. In non‐lethal intensity variable appeared be inversely associated disease severity, did not correlate...
The National Health Service (NHS) epidermolysis bullosa (EB) service, established in 2002, offers comprehensive, free care to all patients England and Wales.To quantify prevalence, incidence mortality of EB Wales.Demographic data for Wales were collected on a secure electronic database, prospectively from January 2002 April 2021 retrospectively cases prior 2002. Vital status was verified using central NHS data.By March 2021, 2594 individuals registered, whom 2361 living, which yielded...

<title>Abstract</title> Ablative fractional carbon dioxide (AFCO2) laser therapy is widely used for treating pathological scarring, with promising clinical results. However, mechanisms underlying reduction hypertrophic scarring are poorly understood. We investigated the cellular of AFCO2 by performing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on skin biopsies from burn survivors scars before and after therapy. Those a good response (GR) to therapy, assessed objectively subjectively, generally...
Introduction The cutaneous microbiome plays an essential role in guarding against invasive pathogens and maintaining healthy skin homeostasis. Several studies have demonstrated the importance of a through its alteration several diseases. Differing characteristics across body (temperature, pH, humidity) create distinct ecological niches inhabited by diverse microbial communities. study microbiota is further complicated numerous variables at all stages investigation, including design, sampling...
