Article Synopsis
- Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a serious skin cancer linked to the Merkel cell polyomavirus and exhibits specific gene expressions related to Merkel cell development.
- Researchers used a method called in vivo cellular reprogramming with the ATOH1 gene to induce MCC-like tumors in mice from skin cells.
- The study found that the development of these tumors required the loss of the p53 protein, mirroring the dysfunction of p53 observed in human MCC cases.
