Abstract excerpt
Epidermal clones of p53-mutated keratinocytes are abundant in chronically sun-exposed skin and may play an important role in early development of skin cancer. Advanced laser capture microdissection enables genetic analysis of targeted cells from tissue sections without contamination from neighboring cells. In this study p53 gene mutations were characterized in single cells from normal, chronically sun-exposed...
