Metabolic Plasticity in Melanoma Progression and Response to Oncogene Targeted Therapies

Resistance to therapy continues to be a barrier to curative treatments in melanoma. Recent insights from the clinic and experimental settings have highlighted a range of non-genetic adaptive mechanisms that contribute to therapy resistance and disease relapse, including transcriptional, post-transcr...
