Every Day a New Fusion? - An Update on Recent Discoveries in Dermatopathology. (PubMed, Hum Pathol)
As the catalog of identified fusions continues to grow, an updated understanding of these entities is essential for accurate classification and for anticipating potential therapeutic vulnerabilities. This review aims to provide a practical, contemporary reference for the diagnostic pathologist navigating the rapidly evolving field of fusion-driven dermatopathology.

Phosphatase and tensin homolog mRNA complexed with hyaluronated lipid nanoparticles for transdermal cancer immunotherapy. (PubMed, J Control Release)
In vivo, topical application results in deep skin and tumor penetration, significantly inhibiting tumor growth and enhancing immune activation with minimal toxicity. Taken together, these results highlight HA-LNP as a promising, clinically translatable platform for localized, mRNA-based cancer immunotherapy.

Preventive effects of Dendrobium hybrid extract on free radical activity and melanoma cell proliferation by inducing apoptotic gene expression. (PubMed, Biomed Rep)
Gene expression analysis was performed to evaluate key signaling molecules involved in cell apoptosis, such as bax, bcl-2, cytochrome c, caspases (cas)-3 and -9 and p53. The expression levels of cas-3 and cas-9, executors in the apoptosis pathway, were significantly upregulated in the SK-MEL-28 cells treated with DH-P for 48 h, further confirming that cell death may occur through an apoptosis mechanism.

Single-cell transcriptomics identifies FOSL1-regulated IGFBP3+ melanoma subtype as a neuro-immunoregulatory signaling hub facilitating tumor progression. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
Because the C2 subtype involves the MHC-II and PROS signaling pathways, which have been shown to have roles in neuroimmunology, neuroinflammation, and pain regulation, it may serve as a hub for neuro-immune interactions in the tumor microenvironment. Precision treatments for melanoma may be advanced by focusing on the FOSL1 or C2 subtype pathways, which may assist in overcoming immunotherapy resistance.

P165 Sentinel lymph node biopsy in primary cutaneous malignant melanoma: an 8-year real-world retrospective cohort study. (PubMed, Br J Dermatol)
As SLNB becomes increasingly integrated into clinical practice, our study highlights the important role of SLNB in managing higher-risk patients and providing access to SACT. Why mortality significantly differs between those diagnosed through teledermatology vs. face-to-face needs further investigation, but it highlights the safety of teledermatology-directed care in the skin cancer pathway.
