Conclusions: FKBP51 promotes melanoma growth, metastasis and angiogenesis, and IL-8 plays a key role in these processes. Thus, targeting of FKBP51 or its upstream or downstream regulatory pathways could lead to effective therapeutic strategies against melanoma. Melanoma is an aggressive form of skin...
Melanoma is a highly aggressive form of skin cancers that may progress to a deadly metastatic disease. Its incidence has been increasing worldwide over the past two decades. Although primary tumors can be successfully surgically removed, there is no satisfactory treatment for metastatic melanoma (Houg...
Under a Creative Commons license open accessHighlights Abstract Melanoma is a highly aggressive form of skin cancer with limited therapeutic options. Chemo-photothermal combination therapy has demonstrated potential for effectively treating melanoma, and transdermal administration is considered the optimal route...
Melanoma is one of the most aggressive forms of cancer that occurs frequently with a significant contribution of environmental factors to its etiology1. Aberrant epigenetic alterations, reflected at the interface of a dynamic microenvironment and the genome, are known to be involved in the malignant ...
A recent study finds that many Americans are being told they have skin cancer unnecessarily. Experts weigh in on why that’s happening—and whether you should get an annual screening.

Melanoma is the most lethal form of skin cancer, with a high capacity for metastasis. The incidence of melanoma has signifi- cantly increased over the last 30 years (Siegel et al, 2012). Once metastasis occurs, the 5-year survival rate of patients drops to o10% (Siegel et al, 2012)....
Melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer, with metastatic melanoma being refractory to currently available conventional therapies. In this study, we evaluated the inhibitory effect of coronatine (COR) on the proliferation of metastatic melanoma cells. COR inhibited the proliferation of melanom...
