Genetics of melanoma progression: the rise and fall of cell senescence. [PDF]
There are many links between cell senescence and the genetics of melanoma, meaning both familial susceptibility and somatic-genetic changes in sporadic melanoma.

The importance of p16 and CD117 expression in melanocytic lesions
Aim: The present study aims to determine the p16 and CD117 expression profiles of melanocytic lesions to investigate immune profiles that may facilitate differential diagnosis of melanoma from benign or potential precursor melanocytic lesions.Materials ...

Exploiting metabolic adaptations to overcome dabrafenib treatment resistance in melanoma cells
We show that dabrafenib‐resistant melanoma cells undergo mitochondrial remodeling, leading to elevated respiration and ROS production balanced by stronger antioxidant defenses. This altered redox state promotes survival despite mitochondrial damage but renders resistant cells highly vulnerable to ROS‐inducing compounds such as PEITC, highlighting redox

An Unusual Melanocytic Nevus of Conjunctiva : Balloon Cell Nevus [PDF]
Melanocytic nevi are one of the most common benign tumors of the conjunctiva. The balloon cell nevus is a rare and unusual variant of nevus of melanocytic origin, in which more than 50% of the tumor is composed of large polygonal cells with small nucleus

Mechanical Properties of Growing Melanocytic Nevi and the Progression to Melanoma
Melanocytic nevi are benign proliferations that sometimes turn into malignant melanoma in a way that is still unclear from the biochemical and genetic point of view.

Detection of primary melanoma in individuals at extreme high risk: a prospective 5-year follow-up study [PDF]
IMPORTANCE: The clinical phenotype and certain predisposing genetic mutations that confer increased melanoma risk are established; however, no consensus exists regarding optimal screening for such individuals.

This study elucidates the mechanism by which heat stress regulates skin pigmentation: heat stress upregulates CX3CL1 through the MYC‐WDR5‐H3K4me3 axis, thereby activating the CX3CL1/CX3CR1‐JNK signaling pathway and ultimately promoting melanogenesis. These findings provide novel potential therapeutic targets for pigmentary skin disorders.

Epithelioid Cell Histiocytoma – An Unusual Variant of Dermatofibroma at an Uncommon Site [PDF]
Epithelioid cell histiocytoma (ECH) is a rare variant of cutaneous fibrous histiocytoma involving primarily trunk and the extremities. It can delude the pathologist in considering other benign non neoplastic and neoplastic lesions.
