March 2019 in “Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences” This review discusses melanocyte development, emphasizing the plasticity of melanoblasts and the role of both intrinsic and extracellular signals in their differentiation and migration, with no new clinical results reported.
This study observed that nevus melanocytes do not exhibit signs of senescence, suggesting that their growth arrest is due to cell interactions and not directly caused by BRAF activation.
This study suggests that the growth arrest of nevus melanocytes is not due to oncogene-induced senescence but rather to collective cell interactions, similar to those in normal tissue size regulation.
