Study finds why moles become melanomas
Updated : 4 years, 3 months ago IST
Washington [US], November 28 (ANI): Melanocytes are cells that give colour to the skin to protect it from the sun's rays. Specific changes to the DNA sequence of melanocytes, called BRAF gene mutations, are found in over 75 per cent of moles. The same change is also found in 50 per cent of m
