The dermo-epidermal junction: an important structure in dermatology
Vanessa Venning
The dermo-epidermal junction comprises a complex network of interacting macromolecules, arranged to provide mechanical stability and adhesion between the epidermis and the underlying dermis.

An understanding of this area helps to clarify the classification and pathogenesis of these diseases.
