Abstract excerpt
Myc is activated in many tumours, yet, paradoxically, stimulates differentiation in mammalian epidermis. To test whether the epidermis responds differently to different levels of Myc, we treated K14MycER transgenic mice with a range of concentrations of the inducing agent, 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen (4OHT). Proliferation was stimulated at all levels of Myc activity; sebocyte differentiation was stimulated at low and...
