Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>BackgroundThe alkylating agent temozolomide (TMZ) is widely used to treat melanoma in clinical practice. However, cells expressing the DNA repair enzyme O<sup>6</sup>-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) are highly resistant to this drug. Vemurafenib (vMF), a targeted BRAF kinase inhibitor, is applied to treat BRAF-V600 mutant metastatic melanoma. Studies have suggested that block...
