The study concluded that scalp tumors show different patterns based on age, gender, and tumor thickness, and emphasized the importance of early detection and scalp examinations.
research Effect of adipose-derived stem cell-conditioned medium on the proliferation and migration of B16 melanoma cells
Adipose-derived stem cell-conditioned medium can reduce melanoma cell growth and spread.
research Hair and nail adverse events during treatment with targeted therapies for metastatic melanoma
Targeted therapies for advanced skin cancer often cause hair and nail problems, which need managing to avoid changing the treatment dose.
research 085 Autoantigen screening in C3H/HeJ mouse model of alopecia areata revealed high antigenicity of melanocyte-associated antigen epitopes
