May 1999 in “Molecular Cell” The study investigated the effects of activating the protooncogene c-Myc in adult skin epidermis. Researchers used a switchable form of c-Myc protein, c-MycER, to target the suprabasal epidermis. Activation of c-MycER led to rapid proliferation and disrupted differentiation of keratinocytes, resulting in papillomatosis and angiogenesis, which are similar to hyperplastic actinic keratosis, a precancerous condition.
