The transfer of a neurotransmitter from one type of skin cell to another (melanocytes to keratinocytes) altered electrical activity and promoted melanoma initiation in preclinical models, according to ...

Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system attacks and destroys melanocytes, the cells that produce the skin pigment melanin. Once the melanocytes are gone, the skin turns ...

Melanoma is one of the most aggressive forms of skin cancer, arising from pigment-producing cells called melanocytes. While early-stage melanoma can often be treated successfully, advanced disease ...

New research shows that the m6A reader protein YTHDF2 promotes melanoma progression by destabilizing HMOX1 mRNA and shielding ...

Melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer. It develops when skin cells multiply rapidly as a consequence of mutations in their DNA caused by UV exposure. Melanomas originate in the ...

Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that develops from melanocytes, cells responsible for skin pigmentation. While individuals with darker skin, like many African Americans, benefit from higher melanin ...

Research in mice suggests damaged pigment stem cells may be removed from the stem-cell pool, causing hair to turn grey and potentially reducing the risk of melanoma ...

A carefully designed clinical trial that set out to supercharge the immune system’s attack on advanced melanoma has delivered ...

Laura Ferris urges risk-based melanoma screening and highlights earlier immunotherapy, selective imaging, vaccine limits and ...
