Skin and Cellular Biology Research

This cluster of papers explores the biology, pathology, and molecular mechanisms related to keratins, intermediate filaments, and associated disorders such as epidermolysis bullosa, Netherton syndrome, and ichthyoses. It covers topics including keratin expression in human tissues, mutations in genes encoding serine protease inhibitors, the role of vimentin in cell adhesion and migration, and the structure and functions of keratin proteins in various epithelia.
