Cultured epithelial autografts (CEA) derived from sole skin were transplanted to full-thickness wounds excised to muscle fascia over a variety of diverse body sites in 12 pediatric patients treated for acute burns or giant congenital nevi. The skin regenerated from the grafts was biopsied from 7 days to 6 years after grafting. The resultant epidermal phenotype was analyzed histologically and by immunohistochemical localization of keratin 9 (K9) as objective evidence of sole-type site-specific differentiation.

Three subunits (alpha, beta, gamma) of the amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channel have been recently characterized. The channel subunits have significant homologies with the Caenorhabditis elegans mec-4, mec-10 and deg-1 genes, which are involved in control of cell volume and mecanotransduction. These subunits are coexpressed at equivalent levels in the renal collecting duct and the distal colon epithelium which are high resistance sodium transporting epithelia.

Human Merkel cell regeneration in epidermis derived from cultured keratinocyte autografts was studied from 6 days to 6 years after transplantation. Cultured keratinocyte sheets derived from skin of the sole, axilla, groin, or scalp were transplanted to full-thickness wounds in 20 pediatric patients treated for massive burns or giant congenital nevi. Normal age- and site-matched skin as well as meshed split-thickness autografts from the same patients served as controls.
