Melittin derived peptide-drug conjugate, M-DM1, inhibits tumor progression and induces effector cell infiltration in melanoma by targeting M2 tumor-associated macrophages

BackgroundMelanoma has the highest mortality rate among all the types of skin cancer.In melanoma, M2-like tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are associated with the invasiveness of tumor cells and a poor prognosis.Hence, the depletion or reduction of M2-TAMs is a therapeutic strategy for the inhibition of tumor progression.The aim of this study wa

Worsening Thrombotic Complication of Atherosclerotic Plaques Due to Neutrophils Extracellular Traps: A Systematic Review

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) recently emerged as a newly recognized contributor to venous and arterial thrombosis.These strands of DNA, extruded by activated or dying neutrophils, decorated with various protein mediators, become solid-state reactors that can localize SOCKS at the critical interface of blood with the intimal surface of dise
