My lab @uwdermatology.bsky.social aims to find new therapies for #EpidermolysisBullosa Simplex (EBS) a #genetic #skin #disease causing life-threatening #blistering starting at birth. Every patient deserves a chance for a cure no matter how rare their disease: www.dermatologytimes.com/view/human-s...

Human Skin Models Advance EBS Research
Traditional mouse models for EBS are limited, prompting Simpson's lab to create more accurate human-based tissue models.
