The Aged Male TME Promotes Melanoma Invasion and Therapeutic Resistance

Source: Cancer Discovery News, September 2024

Major Finding: Age-associated changes in male fibroblasts induce a phenotypic switch to invasive and resistant melanoma.

Concept: Aged male dermal fibroblasts secrete BMP2, regulating tumor progression and therapeutic resistance.

Impact: This study highlights an aging-driven mechanism that may underpin sex-associated melanoma outcomes.
