Abstract

We report the case of a 47-year-old woman who first presented with erythematous plaques on the upper portion of her right arm, which developed into an annular eruption involving the face, upper portion of the trunk, and limbs in a predominantly photosensitive distribution. Findings from histopathologic evaluation of a lesion from her arm were consistent with the clinical diagnosis of SCLE. After years of unsuccessful treatment with conventional medications for SCLE, she began therapy with efalizumab and experienced dramatic improvement in her cutaneous lesions after 6 weeks.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
