The usefulness of c-Kit in the immunohistochemical assessment of melanocytic lesions [PDF]
C-Kit (CD117), the receptor for the stem cell factor, a growth factor for melanocyte migra- tion and proliferation, has shown differential immunostaining in various benign and malig- nant melanocytic lesions. The purpose of this study is to compare c-Kit

In vitro evidence for senescent multinucleated melanocytes as a source for tumor-initiating cells [PDF]
Oncogenic signaling in melanocytes results in oncogene-induced senescence (OIS), a stable cell-cycle arrest frequently characterized by a bi- or multinuclear phenotype that is considered as a barrier to cancer progression.
