Desmosomes01:05

Desmosomes

8.5K
The term desmosome derives from the Greek words "desmo" and "soma" meaning "adhesion bodies." This structure was first observed during the late 1800s and described as small, dense nodules in the epidermis. Desmosomes are button-like structures that help form an interlinked network of intermediate filaments across the cells. These junctions are  essential to hold cells together under mechanical stress and to maintain tissue integrity. Desmosomes are multi-protein...

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...

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,...

Cells of the Epidermis01:24

Cells of the Epidermis

8.6K
The epidermis is made of four or five layers of epithelial cells, depending on its location in the body. From deep to superficial, these layers are the stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum, and stratum corneum.
The cells in all these layers except the stratum basale are called keratinocytes, a type of cell that manufactures and stores the protein keratin. The keratinocytes in the stratum corneum are dead and regularly slough away, being replaced by cells from...

Cytoskeletal Linker Proteins - Plakins01:09

Cytoskeletal Linker Proteins - Plakins

3.0K
Plakins are large proteins with binding domains for microtubules, microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and membrane-associated protein complexes at cell junctions. Plakin functions are evolutionarily conserved and are primarily involved in organizing the different components of the cytoskeleton by crosslinking them to each other and connecting them to the cell-matrix and cell adhesion complexes. They are also known to interact with signal transducers, serve as scaffolds for signaling...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

6.4K
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...

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Genetics
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (AED) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormalities in ectodermal structures.
    • Commonly associated features include hypotrichosis, hypodontia, and hypohidrosis.
    • Palmo-plantar keratoderma (PPK) and atopic dermatitis are not typically considered primary manifestations of AED.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with clinical features of anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.
    • The patient also exhibited significant palmo-plantar keratoderma, a finding rarely reported in conjunction with AED.
    • Concurrent diagnosis of atopic dermatitis was noted in the patient.

    Findings:

    • The co-occurrence of AED with PPK is unusual and suggests potential overlapping genetic or developmental pathways.
    • The presence of atopic dermatitis adds another layer of complexity to the patient's condition.
    • This case underscores the phenotypic variability within ectodermal dysplasia syndromes.

    Implications:

    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the genetic basis for this rare association.
    • Understanding these complex presentations can improve diagnostic accuracy and patient management.
    • This case contributes to the literature on rare genetic dermatological conditions.
