DHODH modulates transcriptional elongation in the neural crest and melanoma [PDF]
Melanoma is a tumour of transformed melanocytes, which are originally derived from the embryonic neural crest. It is unknown to what extent the programs that regulate neural crest development interact with mutations in the BRAF oncogene, which is the ...

Melanocytic Nevus of the Colon [PDF]
Here, we report a very rare case of melanocytic nevus of the colon. A 54-year-old woman with an unremarkable medical history visited our hospital for screening colonoscopy. Colonoscopy revealed a pigmented flat lesion in the ascending colon. Histological evaluation of a biopsy specimen revealed proliferation of pigmented cells in the lamina muscularis ...

Development of the stria vascularis and potassium regulation in the human fetal cochlea : insights into hereditary sensorineural hearing loss [PDF]
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is one of the most common congenital disorders in humans, afflicting one in every thousand newborns. The majority is of heritable origin and can be divided in syndromic and nonsyndromic forms. Knowledge of the expression

Melanocortin 1 receptor targeted imaging of melanoma with gold nanocages and positron emission tomography [PDF]
Purpose: Melanoma is a lethal skin cancer with unmet clinical needs for targeted imaging and therapy. Nanoscale materials conjugated with targeting components have shown great potential to improve tumor delivery efficiency while minimizing undesirable ...

Keratinocytes regulate the function of melanocytes
Mammalian keratinocytes compose the bulk of the epithelium, undergo keratinization, and form the dead superficial layer of the skin. These superficial keratinized cells are continuously replaced by cells derived from mitotic cells in the lowest layer of ...

Neuroectodermal tumor cells, like neural crest (NC) cells, are pluripotent, proliferative, and migratory. We tested the hypothesis that genetic programs essential to NC development are activated in neuroectodermal tumors.

Bridging scales in cancer progression: Mapping genotype to phenotype using neural networks [PDF]
In this review we summarize our recent efforts in trying to understand the role of heterogeneity in cancer progression by using neural networks to characterise different aspects of the mapping from a cancer cells genotype and environment to its phenotype.

Choroidal melanocytes of the eyes of postnatal animals are classified as postmitotic terminally differentiated cells. They have specific granules, the melanosomes, which undergo changes qualitatively and quantitatively correlated to the animal's increasing age.
