Periodic Reporting for period 1 - KILNEV (Killing Senescent Cells as a Novel Method to Eliminate Nevi)

The current project entails the elucidation and evaluation of novel genes which senescent nevus cells (pigmented moles) utilise to maintain survival. Nevus cells arise when skin cells called melanocytes enter a state of gorwth arrest termed 'senescence'. Nevus cells can...
