December 2022 in “Biomedicines” This study found that the expression of the sonic hedgehog protein is involved in wound healing texture regeneration, inhibiting skin texture after embryonic day 14 and affecting keratinocyte migration and division.
This study identified a genetic locus associated with rhabdomyosarcoma susceptibility in mice and found that specific differentiation markers are linked to the regression of basal cell carcinoma.
June 2010 in “Melanoma research” This study found that LDE225, a novel Smo antagonist, shows potential as a topical treatment for basal cell carcinoma due to its high affinity binding and effective inhibition of tumor growth in preclinical models.
