Abstract excerpt
Cellular stress contributes to the capacity of melanoma cells to undergo phenotype switching into highly migratory and drug-tolerant dedifferentiated states. Such dedifferentiated melanoma cell states are marked by loss of melanocyte-specific gene expression and increase of mesenchymal markers. Two crucial transcription factors, microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) and SRY-box transcription...
