    Differentiated Daughter Cells Regulate Stem Cell Proliferation and Fate through Intra-Tissue Tension

    Using two distinct mouse lines, scientists found that increasing contractility of differentiated cells resulted in non-cell-autonomous hyperproliferation of stem cells and prevented their commitment to a hair follicle lineage.

    Abstract

    The Melanoma Brain Metastatic Microenvironment: Aldolase C Partakes in Shaping the Malignant Phenotype of Melanoma Cells – A Case of Inter-Tumor Heterogeneity

    Investigators used brain metastasizing variants from three human melanomas to explore the functional role of Aldolase C in the formation and maintenance of melanoma brain metastasis.

    The Flavonol Isoquercitrin Promotes Mitochondrial-Dependent Apoptosis in SK-Mel-2 Melanoma Cell via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR Pathway

    The anti-cancer mechanism of Isoquercitrin (IQ) against human melanoma, particularly its effect on the mitochondria-mediated apoptosis, was investigated. Treatment with IQ at 25 μM concentration effectively inhibited the proliferation of SK-MEL-2 skin cancer cells while the same concentration did not exhibit cytotoxicity against human keratinocytes HaCaT.
