Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells01:19

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

3.3K
Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own...

Skin Cancer

6.2K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Papillary Dermis

6.1K
Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Plantar keloids are challenging due to walking and healing difficulties. A combination of surgical excision, electron beam therapy, and secondary intention healing offers an effective management strategy for these difficult foot keloids.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Keloids on the plantar foot pose significant challenges for surgical dermatologists.
  • Established treatment regimens frequently yield suboptimal outcomes for these lesions.

Observation:

  • Ambulation's repetitive nature complicates healing.
  • Primary closure of plantar foot wounds is often not feasible.
  • Even delicate skin graft sutures can trigger keloid formation.

Findings:

  • A combined approach utilizing surgical excision, postoperative electron beam radiation therapy, and secondary intention healing is presented.
  • This multimodal strategy addresses the unique obstacles associated with plantar keloid management.

Implications:

  • This therapeutic strategy offers a viable solution for managing recalcitrant plantar keloids.
  • Further research may explore optimizing this combined approach for improved patient outcomes.
