Abstract: 【Abstract】 Hereditary epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a rare mutilating and lethal inherited single-gene skin disease, and places a heavy burden on society and families. Cell therapy has become a very promising method for the treatment of EB due to its excellent and stable clinical efficacy. This review summarizes progress in laboratory research and clinical application of stem cell- and somatic cell-based therapies in EB in recent years.
