What is it about?
Melanoma is a skin malignancy that continues to increase in incidence worldwide. This study demonstrates that platelet-derived growth factor-receptor-α (PDGF-Rα) may represent a relevant target for novel antimelanoma approaches and indicates the fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2)-derived peptide named FREG as potent PDGF-Rα agonist with significant in vitro and in vivo antimelanoma growth activity.
