Model cell culture system for defining the molecular and biochemical events mediating terminal differentiation of human melanoma cells.

Abstract excerpt

Cancer cells are commonly less differentiated than their normal progenitors; a phenotype that correlates with loss of specialized functions and an increased capability to self-renew. Melanoma is an ideal model to analyze cancer progression and differentiation since a well-characterized process of step-wise tumor progression has been defined. Our lab previously described a combinatorial in vitro treatment protocol...
