Metachromatic leukodystrophy: arylsulfatase-A deficiency in skin fibroblast cultures.

abstract：:Human epidermal stem cells express higher levels of beta1 integrins and are more adhesive than keratinocytes that are destined to differentiate. To investigate whether high beta1 integrin expression and adhesiveness are essential for maintaining keratinocytes in the stem cell compartment, we introduced a dominant-nega...
