Why is it important?

Opens new ways of melanoma therapy.

Perspectives

our data demonstrated that the combined administration of SIM and DMXAA on the co-culture of B16.F10 murine melanoma cells and TAMs under hypoxiamimicking conditions has the potential to become a successful targeted microenvironment therapy, based on the suppression of cancer cell aggressive phenotype.
