The melanoma differentiation associated gene-7 (mda-7) has a potential inhibitory role in melanoma progression, although the mechanisms underlying this effect are still unknown. mda-7 mRNA has been found to be present at higher levels in cultured normal melanocytes compared with metastatic melanoma

We have used DD-PCR (differential display-polymerase chain reaction) to identify new genes that are over-or underexpressed during wound repair. DD-PCR performed on excisional wounds identified the expression of rat c49a. Cloning and sequence analysis of the rat c49a gene revealed high homology to a
Lactogenic hormones which bind to the PRLR are likely to be growth-stimulatory in human breast-cancer cells. Oestrogen and progesterone control cellular expression of the PRLR however, elevated androgen levels in some breast-cancer patients raised the possibility that androgens may also influence br
