Abstract

Skin cancer target In a mouse model for skin cancer, β-catenin signalling is shown to be involved in the maintenance of a population of cancer stem cells. These cancer stem cells share properties with the normal stem cells found in the bulge of hair follicles and may therefore be derived from those cells. As β-catenin signalling is not required for normal skin homeostasis, it may be a suitable new target for skin cancer therapy.
