2023-09-11
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Melanoma-associated death is mainly caused by metastatic disease whereby increased melanin levels correlate with decreased melanoma patient survival. Which role melanin plays in melanoma-associated death is unknown. Here, we show that melanin protects circulating melanoma cells from ferroptosis, enhancing their metastatic potential. Melanin levels in patient-derived uveal melanoma cells...
