Papillary Dermis01:11

Papillary Dermis

6.5K
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...

Reticular Dermis01:15

Reticular Dermis

5.3K
The papillary and reticular dermis are the two layers of the dermis. They are made of connective tissue with fibers of collagen extending from one to the other, making the border between the two somewhat indistinct. The dermal papillae extending into the epidermis belong to the papillary layer, whereas the dense collagen fiber bundles below belong to the reticular layer.
Reticular Layer
Underlying the papillary layer is the much thicker reticular layer, composed of dense, irregular connective...

Lampbrush Chromosomes01:51

Lampbrush Chromosomes

8.8K
In 1882, Flemming observed lampbrush chromosomes (LBC) in salamander eggs. Later in 1892, Rückert observed LBCs in shark egg cells and coined the term "lampbrush chromosomes" because they looked like brushes used to clean kerosene lamps.
LBCs are made up of two pairs of conjugating homologous chromatids. Each chromatid consists of alternatively positioned regions of condensed-inactive chromatin and loosely placed-active side loops, which can be contracted and extended. The loops...

Pleiotropy01:33

Pleiotropy

43.7K
Pleiotropy is the phenomenon in which a single gene impacts multiple, seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits. For example, defects in the SOX10 gene cause Waardenburg Syndrome Type 4, or WS4, which can cause defects in pigmentation, hearing impairments, and an absence of intestinal contractions necessary for elimination. This diversity of phenotypes results from the expression pattern of SOX10 in early embryonic and fetal development. SOX10 is found in neural crest cells that form melanocytes,...

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology and Genetics
    • Rare Genetic Skin Disorders
    • Ichthyosis Syndromes

    Background:

    • Ichthyosis linearis circumflexa (ILC) is a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis.
    • Characterized by migratory polycyclic scales and flexural hyperkeratosis, typically presenting in infancy.
    • Familial occurrence highlights potential genetic underpinnings.

    Observation:

    • A case series detailing ILC within a family, presenting classical migratory polycyclic skin lesions and flexural hyperkeratosis.
    • The proband exhibited unusual features including pruritus and palmoplantar thickening.
    • A younger sibling presented with features suggestive of lamellar ichthyosis.

    Findings:

    • The described ILC cases demonstrated characteristic double-edged scales.
    • Therapeutic interventions yielded unsatisfactory responses in the affected individuals.
    • The co-occurrence of ILC and potential lamellar ichthyosis within the family suggests complex inheritance patterns or allelic heterogeneity.

    Implications:

    • This familial case underscores the phenotypic variability and potential diagnostic challenges in ichthyosis syndromes.
    • Further research into the genetic basis of ILC and related ichthyoses is warranted.
    • Understanding the natural history and treatment responses is crucial for managing these rare dermatological conditions.
