MUG-Mel2, a novel highly pigmented and well characterized NRAS mutated human melanoma cell line

Abstract NRAS mutation in melanoma has been associated with aggressive tumor biology and poor prognosis. Although targeted therapy has been tested for NRAS mutated melanoma, response rates still appear much weaker, than in BRAF mutated melanoma. While plenty of cell lines exist, however, only few me...
