New findings reported from S. Kuphal and co-authors describe advances in tissue engineering
Published in Biotech Business Week, July 13th, 2009
According to recent research from Brisbane, Australia, "Melanocytic behavior, survival, and proliferation are regulated through a complex system of cell-cell adhesion molecules. Pathologic changes leading to development of malignant melanoma, upset the delicate homeostatic balance between melanocytes and keratinocytes and can lead to altered expression of cell-cell adhesion and cell-cell communication molecules."
"Malignant transformation of melanocytes frequently coincides with loss of E-cadherin expression. We now show loss of another member of the superfamily of classical cadherins, H-cadherin (CDH13), which may be involved in the development of malignant melanoma....
