Sphingosine-1-phosphate modulators in inflammatory skin diseases - lining up for clinical translation.

abstract：:There have been few reports of successful long-term culture of cells established from cutaneous basal cell carcinoma (BCC) tumors. Here, we describe techniques that have enabled us to establish three long-term cultures of BCC cells isolated from BCC tumors that arose in irradiated Patched 1 (Ptch1)(+/-) mice. All thre...
