Abstract excerpt
The protooncogene c-myc regulates cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis, and its aberrant expression is frequently observed in human cancer. However, the consequences of activating c-Myc in an adult tissue, in which these cellular processes are part of normal homeostasis, remain unknown. In order to achieve this, we have targeted expression of a switchable form of the c-Myc protein to the skin epidermis, a...
