Integrin-linked kinase is crucial for melanoblasts to properly colonize the skin.
research BMP2-mediated PTEN enhancement promotes differentiation of hair follicle stem cells by inducing autophagy
BMP2 helps hair follicle stem cells become specialized by increasing PTEN, which causes autophagy.
research Dormant tumor cells in ret transgenic mouse melanoma model and their interaction with memory T cells
Dormant melanoma cells in mice interact minimally with memory T cells due to a suppressive tumor environment.
research The human promyelocytic leukemia protein is a tumor suppressor for murine skin carcinogenesis
The PML protein helps prevent skin cancer in mice.
