  • Title: Psoriatic hair follicle cells. III. Characterization of aberrant morphology in differentiating cultures.
    Author: Lenoir MC, Vermeesch-Markslag AM, Goos CM, Shroot B, Vermorken AJ.
    Journal: Acta Derm Venereol; 1987; 67(4):277-83. PubMed ID: 2445143.
    Abstract:
    Psoriatic and control human hair follicle keratinocytes were cultured on bovine eye lens capsules in Epicult dishes for a period of 5-6 weeks and examined using light microscopy. The following morphological differences between cultures were observed: 1. The lower cell layers contained predominantly flattened cells in psoriatic cultures instead of roundish in control cultures. 2. The differentiation pattern was irregular in psoriatic cultures instead of regular in control cultures. 3. The differentiated zone of psoriatic cultures was more compact and thicker in comparison to normal cultures. These differences might allow discrimination between normal and psoriatic cultures.
