Restraint of melanoma progression by cells in the local skin environment
Keratinocytes, the dominant cell type in the melanoma microenvironment during tumor initiation, exhibit diverse effects on melanoma progression. Using a zebrafish model of melanoma and human cell co-cultures, we observed that keratinocytes undergo an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-like transformation in the presence of melanoma, reminiscent of their
