Interferon-γ links ultraviolet radiation to melanomagenesis in mice.
2011
Ultraviolet (UV) exposure has been implicated in melanoma formation. Here it is shown, in a mouse model, that UVB induces the recruitment of macrophages which produce interferon-γ to promote melanomagenesis. The study suggests that in melanomas, interferon-γ could be targeted therapeutically.
