Scientists identify the cells that give rise to the soft tissue cancer rhabdomyosarcoma. 

After an initial wounding, genes needed for repair remain ready for action.

In a developing chicken embryo, skin cells pull on each other, forming multicellular mounds that eventually turn into properly-spaced feathers.

Some of these insidious viruses expertly subvert the host immune system, allowing their unhindered proliferation.

Cell culture goes 3-D with devices that better mimic in vivo conditions.

Certain skin-residing immune cells may—under specific conditions—play a direct role in initiating skin cancer after exposure to environmental toxins.
