Abstract
DNA methylation and demethylation function in the balance between cellular differentiation and cancer. Although the roles of DNA methyltransferases have been extensively explored in epidermal biology, ten-eleven translocation (TET) demethylase enzymes are poorly understood. In their new article in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, Boudra et al. present evidence for a tumor-suppressive role of TET2 and its regulation of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in the prevention of squamous cell carcinomas.Entities:
