A path from melanocyte stem cells to cutaneous melanoma illuminated by UVB

The relationship between melanocyte stem cells (MCSCs) and melanoma has been unclear. We recently demonstrated that melanoma-prone MCSCs are able to initiate cutaneous melanoma following stem cell activation through ultraviolet-B (UVB) exposure or natural stem cell cycling. Conversely, MCSC quiescen...
