Abstract
Melanoma, a deadly and aggressive cancer, exhibits significant metabolic reprogramming that supports energy production, biosynthesis, and tumor progression. This metabolic adaptation drives melanoma growth, proliferation, metastasis, and therapy resistance, highlighting its potential as a promising target for therapeutic intervention. This review focuses on the latest studies elucidating metabolic pathways involved in melanoma progression, therapeutic response, and resistance. Additionally, the potential of targeting metabolic pathways-either alone or in combination with established therapeutic inhibitors-to block disease progression in melanoma is also discussed. Such insights might improve our understanding of metabolic pathways in melanoma development and foster advancements in melanoma therapy.
期刊介绍:
Cell Death Discovery is a multidisciplinary, international, online-only, open access journal, dedicated to publishing research at the intersection of medicine with biochemistry, pharmacology, immunology, cell biology and cell death, provided it is scientifically sound. The unrestricted access to research findings in Cell Death Discovery will foster a dynamic and highly productive dialogue between basic scientists and clinicians, as well as researchers in industry with a focus on cancer, neurobiology and inflammation research. As an official journal of the Cell Death Differentiation Association (ADMC), Cell Death Discovery will build upon the success of Cell Death & Differentiation and Cell Death & Disease in publishing important peer-reviewed original research, timely reviews and editorial commentary.
Cell Death Discovery is committed to increasing the reproducibility of research. To this end, in conjunction with its sister journals Cell Death & Differentiation and Cell Death & Disease, Cell Death Discovery provides a unique forum for scientists as well as clinicians and members of the pharmaceutical and biotechnical industry. It is committed to the rapid publication of high quality original papers that relate to these subjects, together with topical, usually solicited, reviews, editorial correspondence and occasional commentaries on controversial and scientifically informative issues.
