This NIH grant supports research on how skin epithelium balances oncogene-driven proliferation and differentiation to maintain epidermal homeostasis, focusing on cellular interactions and tissue growth regulation.
Description
Maintenance of a healthy and functional skin throughout adulthood depends on balanced regulation of tissue growth. This project aims to understand how skin epithelium tolerates oncogenic mutations and how cellular interactions regulate growth and homeostasis.
