Abstract excerpt
One critical factor in melanoma progression is the change from radial growth phase to vertical growth phase. We previously showed a high incidence of ras mutations in progressing but not early human melanomas. We also found that stable expression of activated Ras in a primary human melanoma cell line (WM35) led to enhanced proliferation, anchorage-independent survival, migration and invasion in vitro and enhanced...
