Mediating BRAF-mutant melanoma resistance
In this Q&A, esteemed Dr Rhoda Alani discusses the epigenetic landscape of therapy resistant melanomas and elucidates how corin treatment impacts the reprogramming of melanoma cell phenotypes. The findings suggest a new treatment paradigm for melanoma which could also be relevant to targeted therapy resistance mechanisms for other cancer types.
