  • Title: Diseases of the generative nail apparatus. Part I: Nail matrix.
    Author: Nicolopoulos J, Goodman GJ, Howard A.
    Journal: Australas J Dermatol; 2002 May; 43(2):81-90; quiz, 91-2. PubMed ID: 11982563.
    Abstract:
    Disorders of the generative structures of the nail produce a characteristic set of outcomes. The matrix is the seat of nail development and diseases or insults of this germinative epithelium will tell a story in the signs that unfold in the ensuing nail growth. This story will be influenced by the intensity, duration and extent of this pathology. A method of categorizing changes associated with the generative matrix of the nail will be presented.
