| Zebrafish, genetics and melanoma |
|---|
| Leonard Zon, MD, director of Children’s Stem Cell Program led research using zebrafish to find the genetic origin of melanoma and support the development of new drugs against melanoma. Learn more about this melanoma research in the Children’s newsroom. |
| Stopping stem cells to stop melanoma |
|---|
| Fernando Camargo, PhD, a principal investigator in Children's Stem Cell Program, led research to find a stem cell regulator called a Yap1 molecule. In an experiment with mice, taking away the Yap1 molecule helped to stop epidermal (skin) stem cell from growing more skin, and may prevent growth of cancerous skin.
