Skin cells can naturally limit the growth of cancerous changes by balancing cell renewal and differentiation.
research Abstract 2469: Increased cathepsin B expression in cultured tuberous sclerosis skin tumor cells and patient tumor tissues
Skin tumor cells in patients with tuberous sclerosis have higher levels of a protein called cathepsin B.
research Transduction‐induced overexpression of Merkel cell T antigens in human hair follicles induces formation of pathological cell clusters with Merkel cell carcinoma‐like phenotype
Overexpressing Merkel cell virus proteins in human hair follicles can create clusters of cells that resemble Merkel cell cancer.
research Androgenic alopecia and hirsutism in a 73-year-old woman: careful re-evaluation of 'normal' imaging findings may lead to a rare diagnosis
A 73-year-old woman's unusual hair loss and growth led to the discovery of a rare condition causing too much testosterone, which improved after her ovaries were removed.
