Regulation and function of a hemicleaved Activin-A processing intermediate in melanoma

Activin-A is a Transforming Growth Factor-B (TGFB)-related cytokine that regulates various biological processes including cell proliferation and differentiation through autocrine, paracrine or endocrine signaling. Activin-A expression is upregulated in mul ...

Discovery and Development of Hyperthermia-Enhanced Treatments for Malignant Skin and Uveal Melanomas

Mouna Hadiji

Melanomas are among the deadliest cancers, with a high predisposition to metastasis and a bad prognosis in their late stages. The effectiveness of current therapeutic regimens remains suboptimal, and despite initial successes, treatment resistance emerges ...

Protein Engineering for Personalized therapy and diagnosis

Lixia Wei

Protein Engineering, especially protein post-translational modification (PTM), ex-tends proteomes in a more complex way than one can expect from analysis of their encod-ing genomes. It can activate or deactivate certain catalytic functions, add new desired ...

The combination of stereotactic radiosurgery with immune checkpoint inhibition or targeted therapy in melanoma patients with brain metastases: a retrospective study

Constantin Tuleasca, Filipe Amândio Brandão Sanches Vong Martins, Olivier Michielin, Krisztian Homicsko, Alexandre Wicky

Background Evidence pointing to a synergistic effect of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) with concurrent immunotherapy or targeted therapy in patients with melanoma brain metastases (BM) is increasing. We aimed to analyze the effect on overall survival (OS) ...

Roles of Epigenetic Dysregulation in Cancer Progression and Metastasis

Mohammad Sadegh Saghafinia

Nearly all the cells of an organism share the same DNA sequence or genome, and yet they show different phenotypes and carry out different functions. This diversity is made possible by a verity of molecular modifications acting on the DNA sequence that coll ...

Drug Repurposing Approach Identifies a Synergistic Drug Combination of an Antifungal Agent and an Experimental Organometallic Drug for Melanoma Treatment

Paul Joseph Dyson, Tina Riedel, Olivier Pierre Zava

By screening a drug library comprising FDA approved compounds, we discovered a potent interaction between the antifungal agent haloprogin and the experimental organometallic drug RAPTA-T, to synergistically induce cancer cell killing. The combination of th ...

Lymphatic vessel density is associated with CD8(+) T cell infiltration and immunosuppressive factors in human melanoma

Melody Swartz, Olivier Michielin, Manuel Andreas Fankhauser, Timothy Murray, Natacha Anne-Sophie Bordry, Maria Anna Sofia Broggi, Esther Danenberg

Increased density of tumor-associated lymphatic vessels correlates with poor patient survival in melanoma and other cancers, yet lymphatic drainage is essential for initiating an immune response. Here we asked whether and how lymphatic vessel density (LVD) ...

Monitoring Tyrosinase Expression in Non-metastatic and Metastatic Melanoma Tissues by Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy

Hubert Girault, Horst Pick, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Tzu-En Lin, Alexandra Bondarenko

Although tremendous progress has been made in the diagnosis of melanoma, the identification of different stages of malignancy in a reliable way remains challenging. Current strategies rely on optical monitoring of the concentration and spatial distribution ...

Electrochemical sensing and imaging of biological samples

Alexandra Bondarenko

Implementation of analytical methods for biological samples (e.g. bacteria or mammalian cells) is of great importance for diagnosis and treatment of various diseases, as well as for environmental monitoring. However, analysing biological samples is a cumbe ...
