Meis1 regulates epidermal stem cells and is required for skin tumorigenesis.

Meis1 regulates epidermal stem cells and is required for skin tumorigenesis.

Previous studies have shown that Meis1 plays an important role in blood development and vascular homeostasis, and can induce blood cancers, such as leukemia. However, its role in epithelia remains largely unknown. Here, we uncover two roles for Meis1 in the epidermis: as a critical regulator of epid...
