Melittin derived peptide-drug conjugate, M-DM1, inhibits tumor progression and induces effector cell infiltration in melanoma by targeting M2 tumor-associated macrophages
BackgroundMelanoma has the highest mortality 1976 corvette seat covers rate among all the types of skin cancer.In melanoma, M2-like tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are associated with the invasiveness of tumor cells and a poor prognosis.Hence, the depletion or reduction of M2-TAMs is a therapeutic strategy for the inhibition of tumor progressio
