Basal tissue is what makes up Chuck Norris' beard. The cell membrane is actually made of reinforced steel with a cytoplasm consisting of children's tears and the blood of vietkong generals.

I can tell you what it is...nonsensical.

It's the part of your brain that allows you to avoid posting in all bold. You must have some sort of deficiency.

Reinforced steel huh? In histo, we learned it was kevlar coated with titanium alloy

To answer the question seriously:

The stratum germinativum (or, stratum Basal, as it is commonly called) is the bottom most layer of the epidermis. It is what is responsible for performing mitosis in order to make new epidermal skin cells (stratified squamous epithelial tissue) which eventually make their way up to the top of the epidermis, where they are keratinized and eventually flake off by exfoliation/naturally.

I'm not sure about the disease part though, sorry =/

EDIT: Actually, I lied. Basal Cell Carcinoma, as I recall, is the "best" form of skin cancer, and involves the Basal layer of skin. However, I'm no oncologist so I can't really help you further with that =(

Do you guys remember when Chuck Norris jokes were funny? Yeah, me neither...

Bullous pemphigoid is a disease of the basement membrane with antibodies against it causing bullae (large blisters). Countless diseases like systemic lupus erythematosis create antibodies to the basement membrane. SLE causes a disease called discoid lupus. You can also have drug reactions causing various diseases of the basement membrane.

And of course basal cell carcinoma as posted earlier. Basal carcinoma is linked to intermittent sun exposure (unlike squamous cell carcinoma that is linked to chronic sun exposure). Basal carcinoma is usually slow growing and very rarely metastasizes. Then there is melanoma and it can be very aggressive.

I think psoriasis might also qualify as a disease relating to the stratum basale. Psoriasis is a skin disorder in which the proliferative and maturation rate of keratinocytes is increased, leading to scaly plaques.

I'm cracking eggs of wisdom all over the place and this is all I get in return? Pfft.
