Abstract excerpt
Cyclin D1 is a critical gene involved in the regulation of progression through the G(1) phase of the cell cycle, thereby contributing to cell proliferation. Gene amplification and abnormal expression of Cyclin D1 have been described in several human cancers. To understand their biological significance in skin carcinogenesis, we established Cyclin D1-conditional transgenic mice with C57BL/6J background, in which...
