... ING4 affects human malignant melanoma A375 cells. Methods: Recombinant lentiviral vectors (A375/pLenO-GTP-ING4) were constructed and transfected into A375 cells (experimental group). The impact of ING4 on the proliferation and apoptosis of A375 cells was investigated in in vitro and in vivo experiments...

...K. Ivanova; K. Glatz; A. Zippelius; G. Nicolas; P. Itin Invasive malignant melanoma is the most common fatal form of skin cancer. Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography demonstrates a very high sensitivity and specificity for the detection of melanoma...

... studies with melanoma cell lines showed that loss of Dkk-1 expression may contribute to tumor progression. Objective: The present study is the first in vivo investigation of Dkk-1 serum levels in patients with cutaneous malignant melanoma. Methods: We analyzed serum levels of Dkk-1 protein in 82 patients...

.... There is growing evidence linking biological treatments with the occurrence of malignancies or reactivation of latent ones, including malignant melanoma. We report the case of a 75-year-old male patient who developed 2 primary malignant melanomas (MM) after treatment with adalimumab for rheumatoid arthritis. He...

...H. Klug; U.-F. Haustein Electron microscopic investigations on biopsies, taken from one patient with malignant melanoma and two with keratoma palmoplantare, have revealed that many keratinocytes contain numerous intracytoplasmic desmosomes, especially in melanoma. Most of them are interconnected...
