nevus/carbohydrate

The framework for melanin synthesis in the interior of the premelanosomes - the matrix - was subjected to ultrastructural cytochemical examination in cells of the retinal pigment epithelium of chick embryos, in melanocytes of rat skin, and in melanocytes and nevus cells of human skin. The positive

The expression of MUC1, Tn (GalNAc alpha 1-O-Ser/Thr) and sialosyl Tn (STn) (NeuAc alpha 2,6 GalNAc alpha 1-O-Ser/Thr) antigens, which are useful markers for the prognosis of cancer in other organs, was examined immunohistochemically in a series of 45 eyelid tumors and 5 pseudotumors: basal cell

Malignant melanoma, a malignant neoplasm of epidermal melanocytes is the third most common skin cancer. In many cases, melanoma develops from nevus, which is considered as the nonmalignant stage. Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy (FTIR-MSP), which is based on characteristic molecular

A murine monoclonal antibody, VM-1, which binds to basal cells of normal human epidermis, reduces the ability of human squamous cell carcinoma cells (SCL-1) derived from the skin to attach and spread on collagen by about 50% and causes cell rounding. Similar effects have been previously shown using

Melanoma is the leading cause of skin cancer-related deaths, which is due in large part to its aggressive behavior, resistance to therapy, and ability to metastasize to multiple organs such as the lymph nodes, lung, and brain. Melanoma progresses in a stepwise manner from the benign nevus, to radial
