Apoptosis or necrosis?
The article says:
Keratinocytes, which are the cells found lower in the epidermis, specialize in holding the skin cells together, undergo necrosis (uncontrolled cell death).
The emedicine article I cited says:
Current opinion suggests that epidermolysis is the result of keratinocyte cell apoptosis
I hesitate to change it because of the name of the condition - necrolysis? Plus, I know nothing about it. Is there controversy? Or do both occur to an extent? If someone could clear this up, it would be great. Thanks, delldot talk 06:20, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

The latest sweeping change in rev. 283499008 closely resembles an article I found online,

Please revert to avoid WP:COPYVIO and add a short summary and a link to the article in the appropriate section.--ilgiz (talk) 17:36, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
