research Diagnosis and Management of Melanoma of the Scalp: A Review of the Literature
Scalp melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, is often found late due to its hard-to-see location, especially in older men. Early detection, possible treatments, and the role of hairdressers in spotting it early are discussed. More research is needed to improve detection and treatment.
research RASopathic Skin Eruptions during Vemurafenib Therapy
Vemurafenib causes skin side effects similar to RASopathies, requiring regular skin checks and UVA protection.
research The ‘melanocyte-keratin’ mystery revisited: neither normal human epidermal nor hair follicle melanocytes express keratin 16 or keratin 6in situ
Human melanocytes in skin and hair follicles don't express keratin 16 or 6 naturally.
research The risk of dermatological toxicities of combined BRAF and MEK inhibition versus BRAF inhibition alone in melanoma patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Combined BRAF and MEK treatment increases rash risk but reduces other skin issues compared to BRAF alone.
research DecisionDx‐Melanoma and Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy
research Any route for melanoblasts to colonize the skin!
Melanoblasts migrate to the skin using various pathways, and understanding this process could help with skin disease research.
research Stimulation of melanogenesis by Carthamus tinctorius floret extract in B16F10 murine melanoma cells
Safflower extract increases melanin production in certain skin cells without harming them.
research Tumour regression predicts higher risk of sentinel node involvement in thin cutaneous melanomas
Shrinking skin cancer increases the chance of cancer in nearby lymph nodes.
research Subungual melanocytic lesions
Early subungual melanoma might be treated with less aggressive surgery because it invades the skin under the nail more slowly.
research Melanocyte progenitor cells reside in human subcutaneous adipose tissue
Melanocyte progenitor cells are found in human fat tissue and can become mature melanocytes, which may help treat skin issues.
research Unexpected Diagnosis of Basal Cell Carcinoma
A young man was unexpectedly diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma after a scalp examination and confocal microscopy.
research GENOTYPE ? PHENOTYPE CORRELATIONS IN CUTANEOUS MELANOMA PATIENTS CARRIER OF THE MITF p.E318K PATHOGENIC VARIANT
MITF+ melanoma patients are more likely to have multiple melanomas and unique skin patterns.
research Melanoma follow-up and mortality: A large-scale study of Medicare patients
Regular follow-up visits, especially with dermatologists, can lower death rates for melanoma patients, with socioeconomic factors also affecting outcomes.
research The Roles of S100 Proteins and RAGE in Melanoma
High S100B protein levels indicate poor survival in advanced melanoma.
research Betamethasone actives cultured amelanotic melanocytes derived from outer root sheath of human hair follicle
Betamethasone activates and increases the growth of certain skin cells from hair follicles.
research 1421 Primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma–leg type masquerading as a mucocele
An elderly woman's upper lip lump, thought to be a mucocele, was actually a rare type of lymphoma usually found on legs, treated successfully with chemotherapy and radiation.
research Correction: RASopathic Skin Eruptions during Vemurafenib Therapy
Vemurafenib causes significant skin side effects, requiring regular dermatologist care and sun protection.
research Ethanol extract of asiasari radix preferentially induces apoptosis in G361 human melanoma cells by differential regulation of p53
Asiasari radix extract may be a potential treatment for melanoma because it selectively triggers cell death in melanoma cells by affecting p53 regulation.
research Sentinel lymph node status is the strongest independent predictor for disease free and overall survival in patients with thick melanoma
The health of the sentinel lymph node is the best indicator of survival for patients with thick skin cancer.
research LB1672 Senescent melanocytes in nevus skin stimulate hair growth
Senescent melanocytes in nevus skin boost hair growth.
research Models for Skin Cancer
Malignant melanoma is the deadliest skin cancer, while BCC is the most common but rarely spreads, and SCC is more aggressive than BCC.
research N6-methyladenosine RNA Methylation Correlates with Immune Microenvironment and Immunotherapy Response of Melanoma
Low m6Ascores in melanoma predict better survival and response to immunotherapy.
research Updates from the British Association of Dermatologists 91st Annual Meeting, 5-7 July 2011, London, U.K.
New treatments and management strategies for skin conditions like melanoma and Spitz naevi were discussed at the dermatologists' meeting.
research AMPK Phosphorylates ZDHHC13 to Increase MC1R Activity and Suppress Melanomagenesis
AMPK activation may reduce melanoma risk in red-haired individuals.
research The Influence of Flightless I: Regeneration versus Wound Healing
Blocking RANK signaling might help treat metastatic melanoma, but more research is needed.
research Wound healing with topical BRAF inhibitor therapy in a diabetic model suggests tissue regenerative effects
A topical BRAF inhibitor, vemurafenib, can speed up wound healing and promote hair growth, especially in diabetic patients.
research Keratin 16 Expression Defines a Subset of Epithelial Cells During Skin Morphogenesis and the Hair Cycle
research Methotrexate/tacrolimus/voriconazole
A 65-year-old man developed a serious skin cancer linked to a drug he was taking for a fungal infection after a bone marrow transplant.
research Finasteride and dutasteride may reduce melanoma risk
Finasteride and dutasteride might lower melanoma risk.
