Novel regulation of melanogenesis by adiponectin via the AMPK/CRTC pathway.

abstract：:The advent of immune checkpoint blockers and targeted therapies has changed the outcome of melanoma. However, many patients experience relapses, emphasizing the need for predictive and prognostic biomarkers. We developed a strategy based on plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) loaded with melanoma tumor antigens that a...
