Researchers from the IDIBELL have led a study demonstrating that the expression of human papillomavirus oncoproteins in hair follicle (epidermal region where hair is regenerated) stem cells induces the development of skin carcinomas. These studies show that the origin of certain skin carcinomas resides in the altered function of stem cells. The skin squamous cell
