April 2026 in “Biomedical Materials” In this study, gold nanoparticle-conjugated curcumin and thymoquinone formulations were more effective against melanoma cells in 3D bioprinted scaffolds than free or co-administered phytochemicals, sustaining stress responses and overcoming tumor adaptation barriers.
January 2008 in “中山醫學大學醫學研究所學位論文” This study found that Danthron induced apoptosis in a human malignant melanoma cell line through mitochondrial, endoplasmic reticulum, and death receptor pathways.
This study explored chitosan-based dissolving microneedle arrays loaded with Agave tequilana root extract, finding that extract concentration influenced microneedle geometry and bioactivity, maintaining antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory effects while reducing collagenase inhibition, particularly in the 0.25% formulation.

April 2022 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” This study found that TRPV4 activation induced massive exocytosis and cellular changes associated with ferroptosis in melanoma cells, highlighting a potential role for TRPV4 in mediating these processes.
April 2016 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study identified mefloquine as a potent inducer of lethal ER stress that effectively eliminated vemurafenib-resistant and sensitive melanoma cells, suggesting its potential for repurposing as a melanoma treatment.
