## Abstract The primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin or Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a skin tumor with aggressive biological behaviour. Experimental models for investigating the biological properties of the tumor are prerequisite for developing new therapeutic approaches. In this study, w
Abnormalities in the p53 gene were studied in a series of cell lines of human squamous-cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) and in tumor tissues. Restriction-fragment-length polymorphism (RFLP), quantitative hybridization and immunochemical analysis of mutant p53 proteins were combined to det
## Abstract The major etiological agent in skin cancer is exposure to UV‐irradiation and the concomitant DNA damage. UV‐induced DNA lesions, such as thymine dimers, block DNA synthesis by the major DNA polymerases and inhibit the progression of DNA replication. Bypass of thymine dimers and related
