Basal cell carcinoma and pilomatrixoma mirror human follicular embryogenesis as reflected by their differential expression patterns of SOX9 and β-catenin
22 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The current classification schemes of adnexal tumours are predominantly based on morphological and immunophenotypical similarities to adult skin structures, whereas a link between the embryology of the skin and the histogenesis of adnexal tumours has been largely neglected. OBJECTIVE: To describe the expression patterns of two proteins with proven relevance for hair follicle homeostasis (SOX9 and...
