Defining keratin protein function in skin epithelia: Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex and its aftermath
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is a rare genetic condition typified by superficial bullous lesions following incident frictional trauma to the skin. Most cases of EBS are due to dominantly-acting mutations in keratin 14 (K14) or K5, the type I and II intermediate filament (IF) proteins that co-...
