The Multifunctional Role of SPANX-A/D Protein Subfamily in the Promotion of Pro-Tumoural Processes in Human Melanoma
(Nature, 2021-02-11)
Human sperm protein associated with the nucleus on the X chromosome (SPANX) genes encode a protein family (SPANX-A, -B, -C and -D), whose expression is limited to the testis and spermatozoa in normal tissues and various ...
Association of TYR SNP rs1042602 with Melanoma Risk and Prognosis
(MDPI, 2022-12-01)
Cutaneous melanoma is the most aggressive of skin tumors. In order to discover new biomarkers that could help us improve prognostic prediction in melanoma patients, we have searched for germline DNA variants associated ...
Melanoma and Nevi Subtype Histopathological Characterization with Optical Coherence Tomography
(MDPI, 2023-02-23)
Background: Melanoma incidence has continued to rise in the latest decades, and the forecast is not optimistic. Non-invasive diagnostic imaging techniques such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) are largely studied; ...
A Universal Antigen-Ranking Method to Design Personalized Vaccines Targeting Neoantigens against Melanoma
(MDPI, 2023-01-05)
Background: The main purpose of this article is to introduce a universal mathematics-aided vaccine design method against malignant melanoma based on neoantigens. The universal method can be adapted to the mutanome of each ...
Evaluation of bioactive sphingolipids in 4-HPR-resistant leukemia cells
(BioMed Central, 2011-10-07)
Background -- N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retinamide (4-HPR, fenretinide) is a synthetic retinoid with potent pro-apoptotic activity against several types of cancer, but little is known regarding mechanisms leading to chemoresistance. ...
Lipid fingerprint-based histology accurately classifies nevus, primary melanoma, and metastatic melanoma samples
(Wiley, 2024-02)
Probably, the most important factor for the survival of a melanoma patient is early detection and precise diagnosis. Although in most cases these tasks are readily carried out by pathologists and dermatologists, there are ...
