Epigenetic control of melanoma cell invasiveness by the stem cell factor SALL4

Melanoma cells can switch between proliferative and invasive phenotypes. Here the authors show that the embryonic stem cell factor Sall4 is a negative regulator of melanoma phenotype switching where its loss leads to the acquisition of an invasive phenotype, due to derepression of invasiveness genes...
