UCLA stem cell researchers identify a cell of origin for squamous cell carcinoma
Squamous cell cancers, which can occur in multiple organs in the body, can originate from hair follicle stem cells, a finding that could result in new strategies to treat and potentially prevent the disease, according to a study by researchers with the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA.
