Robin A. J. Eady, MB, FRCP

Arch Dermatol. 1988;124(5):709-712.

Abstract

The structural features of this interface are reviewed in detail, with particular emphasis on the basement membrane and associated intracellular and extracellular components that may be involved in the pathogenesis of various forms of epidermolysis bullosa.
