• of note, the proportion of the panniculus carnosus muscle to the overall skin thickness is increased

cellular
• isolated primary skin fibroblasts present at reduced cell numbers show severely impaired fibronectin deposition and thus failure to form an organized fibronectin network concomitant with abnormal intracellular accumulation of fibrillin-1
• lack of fibronectin and subsequently fibrillin-1 ECM deposition could be due to lower cell densities, as fibrillin-1 deposition is known to be dependent on cell density
