	Skin cancer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Skin cancer is a malignant growth on the skin, which can have many causes, including repeated severe sunburns or long-term exposure to the sun.
		Skin cancer generally develops in the epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, so a tumor is usually clearly visible.
		Skin cancer is an increasingly common condition, in part attributed to increased exposure to ultraviolet radiation.

		Non-melanoma skin cancer is a malignant growth of the external surface or epithelial layer of the skin.
		Skin cancer is the growth of abnormal cells capable of invading and destroying other associated skin cells.

	Sloan-Kettering - Squamous Cell Carcinoma
		Squamous cell carcinomas arise from the upper levels of the epidermis, usually on places that have been exposed to the sun.
		This type of skin cancer often arises from a precancerous lesion known as an actinic keratosis (sometimes called solar keratosis), a type of lesion that appears as a rough, flat pink spot.
		Most suspected skin cancers are first noticed by the patient or by a family member and brought to the attention of a doctor.

	Skin cancer - basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma
		Skin cancer is the most common of all cancers and is on the increase, probably because of our increasing tendency to expose the skin to sunlight and ultraviolet lights used in tanning.
		Basal cell carcinoma is a cancer that begins in the deep basal cell layer of the epidermis (the outer layer of the skin).
		Basal cell carcinoma is not one of the most dangerous cancers but it must still be treated to avoid it spreading.

	Single isolated mouse skin cell can generate into variety of epidermal tissues
		And in the future, she says, it may be possible to test if human skin cells can also be pushed to grow into other epithelial cells, such as eye cornea or tooth enamel, or even different types of tissues.
		In the skin, cells suspected of having "stemness" because they divided infrequently were found by researchers to reside in a tiny bulge halfway up the side of a hair follicle shaft.
		After expanding an isolated stem cell clone several million times, the researchers grafted the cells on to the back of a mouse that had no hair, and demonstrated that the grafted cells, all derived from a single parent stem cell, made new hair, skin and sebaceous glands, which excrete oil to lubricate the hair.

	Merkel Cell Carcinoma
		Squamous cell and basal cell carcinoma of the skin
		Since Merkel cells seem to originate from a pluripotential primitive keratinocyte and not from the neural crest, rhabdomyoblastic differentiation in a metastasis of primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin probably reflects the close proximity between the programs of neural and skeletal muscle differentiation, which would have been sequentially activated in the case we are reporting.
		Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive neuroendocrine tumor of the skin that is associated with a high incidence of recurrence and metastasis.
