Epithelial origin of cutaneous anchoring fibrils
Anchoring fibrils are essential structural elements of the dermoepidermal junction and are crucial to its functional integrity. They are composed largely of type VII collagen, but their cellular origin has not yet been confirmed. In this study, we demonstrate that the anchoring fibrils are primarily a product of epidermal keratinocytes. Human keratinocyte sheets were transplanted to a nondermal...
متن کاملFormation and Origin of Basal Lamina and Anchoring Fibrils in Adult Human Skin
The purpose of this investigation was to study the formation and origin of basal lamina and anchoring fibrils in adult human skin. Epidermis and dermis were separated by "cold trypsinization." Viable epidermis and viable, inverted dermis were recombined and grafted to the chorioallantoic membrane of embryonated chicken eggs for varying periods up to 10 days. Basal lamina and anchoring fibrils w...
متن کاملType VII collagen forms an extended network of anchoring fibrils
Type VII collagen is one of the newly identified members of the collagen family. A variety of evidence, including ultrastructural immunolocalization, has previously shown that type VII collagen is a major structural component of anchoring fibrils, found immediately beneath the lamina densa of many epithelia. In the present study, ultrastructural immunolocalization with monoclonal and monospecif...
متن کاملCutaneous sinuses of dental origin
We report a case of a cutaneous sinus related to a non-vital lower premolar. The case was misdiagnosed by non-dentally trained medical staff and subsequent treatment proved ineffective. Following referral to an Oral and Maxillofacial clinic the correct cause was established. Correct treatment was followed by rapid resolution of signs and symptoms. This case highlights the need for healthcare pr...
متن کاملStructural origin of polymorphism of Alzheimer's amyloid β-fibrils.
Formation of senile plaques containing amyloid fibrils of Aβ (amyloid β-peptide) is a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. Unlike globular proteins, which fold into unique structures, the fibrils of Aβ and other amyloid proteins often contain multiple polymorphs. Polymorphism of amyloid fibrils leads to different toxicity in amyloid diseases and may be the basis for prion strains, but ...
