Pachydermoperiostosis (PDP) is a rare disease characterized by unique phenotypes of the skin and bone, such as thick skin, implying that it may be caused by dysregulation of mesenchymal cells.

The numbers of cultured fibroblasts were compared between healthy donors and PDP patients, and mRNA expression profiles in cultured dermal fibroblasts were examined by D ...[more]
