Recognizing specific markers is crucial for correctly diagnosing and treating rare multifocal MPTT in males.
research Decision letter: Interplay of opposing fate choices stalls oncogenic growth in murine skin epithelium
Skin cells can naturally limit the growth of cancerous changes by balancing cell renewal and differentiation.
research Immune-Epithelial Cross Talk in Regeneration and Repair
Immune-epithelial interactions are crucial for tissue repair, but unchecked can cause diseases.
research Folliculin interacts with p0071 (plakophilin-4) and deficiency is associated with disordered RhoA signalling, epithelial polarization and cytokinesis
Folliculin deficiency causes problems with cell division and positioning due to disrupted RhoA signaling and interaction with p0071.
research Eavesdropping on the conversation between immune cells and the skin epithelium
Immune cells help keep skin healthy and repair it, but imbalance can cause disease.
research News in brief
Researchers discovered potential origins and new treatments for skin cancer, including biomarkers for melanoma and therapies that reduce tumor growth.
research Identification of the cell lineage at the origin of basal cell carcinoma
Basal cell carcinoma mostly starts from cells in the upper skin layers, not hair follicle stem cells.
