Stem Cell Research
Research from University Medical Center provide new insights into stem cell research
Published in Cancer Weekly, March 9th, 2010
New investigation results, 'Transcription-dependent cytosine deamination is a novel mechanism in ultraviolet light-induced mutagenesis,' are detailed in a study published in Current Biology. According to recent research from Leiden, Netherlands, "Skin cancer is the most ubiquitous cancer type in the Caucasian population, and its incidence is increasing rapidly [1]. Transcribed proliferation-related genes in dermal stem cells are targets for the induction of ultraviolet light (UV)-induced mutations that drive carcinogenesis."
"We have recently found that transcription of a gene increases its mutability by UV in mammalian stem cells, suggesting a role of...
