FSMP-03. INVESTIGATING CO-OPTED ASTROCYTIC METABOLISM IN MELANOMA BRAIN METASTASIS

Identification of key genes in melanoma metastasis and investigating their potential as biomarkers

Background and Aim: Considering the high global incidence of skin cancer and the high mortality rate caused by melanoma, it is important to identify the genes involved in this disease and predict effective drugs. Therefore, in this study, we have identified and investigated the expression level of effective and key genes in melanoma metastasis, as well as investigating their diagnostic potentia...

Management of Brain Metastasis in Melanoma Patients

Sex determination: Co-opted signals determine gender

The Drosophila JAK-STAT pathway and its ligand Unpaired are required for a wide range of developmental processes. Recent results have identified Unpaired as an activator of sex-lethal and revealed a new role for the JAK-STAT pathway in sex determination.

Mycorrhizal Symbiosis: Ancient Signalling Mechanisms Co-opted

Mycorrhizal root endosymbiosis is an ancient property of land plants. Two parallel studies now provide novel insight into the mechanism driving this interaction and how it is used by other filamentous microbes like pathogenic oomycetes.
