    Author: Zhou G, Li H, Fu X.
    Journal: Zhongguo Xiu Fu Chong Jian Wai Ke Za Zhi; 2006 May; 20(5):578-81. PubMed ID: 16752854.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of ectodysplasin (EDA) gene signaling and its relationship with the development and regeneration of sweat glands. METHODS: The articles concerned in the latest years were extensively reviewed. RESULTS: EDA gene is an important signaling pathway associated with the developmental procedure of sweat glands in early fetal stage. Abnormality or depletion of function in sweat glands partially owed to the defect of EDA gene. CONCLUSION: EDA signaling has its biological significance in inducing development and morphogenesis of sweat glands and in maintaining physiological function of skin. It could be a new approach to repair or regenerate the sweat glands for clinical therapy by regulating the expression of EDA gene.
