Meanings of normal melanocytes in English

By contrast, neuropilin-1 transcripts were detected in some of the normal melanocytes.

Most melanoma cell lines and cultured normal melanocytes produced high levels of matrix metalloproteinase-2.

The role of TRPM1 and its regulation in normal melanocytes and in melanoma progression is not understood.

All evidence clearly indicates the existence of a complex molecular machinery that provides checks and balances in normal melanocytes.

Of seven melanoma cell lines examined here, six cell lines expressed the HOXD3 gene, whereas normal melanocytes did not.

Both cultured melanoma cells and normal melanocytes secreted biologically inactive, latent TGF-beta protein which, upon acid treatment, became biologically active.

No serious toxicities directly attributable to the antibody were observed, although five of seven melanoma patients developed T cell reactivity to normal melanocytes.

Among cultured cells the three mAbs reacted exclusively with normal melanocytes and pigmented melanomas, but not with nonpigmented melanomas or cells of other lineage.

In contrast to melanoma cells, normal melanocytes did not express placenta growth factor mRNA at detectable levels and did not secrete placenta growth factor protein.

Malignant melanoma is a cancer whose incidence is rising rapidly, but the mechanism by which normal melanocytes become malignant in vivo is still little understood.
