Investigation into key molecular pathways in the pathogenesis of cutaneous melanoma
The melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) is a major determinant of skin phototype and sensitivity to UV light. The postulated role of MC1R in protecting melanocytes from apoptosis in response to UV irradiation led to our hypothesis that manipulation of the MC1R may affect growth of melanoma cell lines and...
