Melanoma growth is driven by malignant melanoma initiating cells (MMIC) identified by expression of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) member, ABCB5. ABCB5+ melanoma subpopulations have been shown to over
TF-1 cells were transduced with retroviruses expressing wild-type (WT), ITD or D835Y forms of Flt3, or an empty vector as negative control. Cells were grown in the presence of the kinase inhibitors sh
The TGFβ signaling pathway is known for its pleiotropic functions in a plethora of biological processes. In melanoma, TGFβ signaling promotes invasiveness and metastasis formation. However, its involv
Beta-catenin plays an important role in embryogenesis and carcinogenesis by controlling either cadherin-mediated cell adhesion or transcriptional activation of target gene expression. In many types of
Melanoma is a malignant tumor with a terrible prognosis. In this study, we showed regorafenib has the ability to limit the growth, invasion and metastasis of melanoma cells but to upregulate apoptosis
