Abstract excerpt
BRAFV600-mutant melanoma relies on hyperactivation of the MAPK/ERK pathway for tumorigenesis, with BRAF/MEK inhibitors (BRAFi/MEKi) improving patient outcomes. However, therapeutic resistance frequently emerges, and male patients show poorer responses and outcomes, partially linked to androgen receptor (AR) overexpression. Here, we uncover a mechanistic link between AR signaling and autophagic resistance in...
