| Popis: |
Merkel cells are located mainly in the epidermis and considered to have a regulatory role in the growth and differentiation of keratinocytes. On account of their biological behavior, Merkel cells are thought to belong to “paraneurons”(Fujita 1989). Although many kinds of functions of these cells have been clarified, their origin is still unknown. Therefore, we analyzed the ganglioside compositions of Merkel cell carcinomas in order to discuss their origin and metastatic potency. |
