Highlights ; · Amoeboid cell migration can be path generating without proteolytic degradation ; · Paths are generated by worrying, i.e., a slow wearing down of matrix ; · Cells worry using large blebs at their front to break apart extracellular matrix ; · Directional persistence in worrying is maintained via multiple feedbacks
Highlights ; · Melanoma LMD has little immune infiltration but higher stromal involvement ; · Meningeal stroma is required for melanoma cells to survive in the CSF environment ; · Tumor-promoting effects of meningeal stroma are mediated via upregulation of SERPINA3
Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer. The main types of skin cancer are squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Most deaths from skin cancer are caused by melanoma. St...

Basal cell carcinoma is a common type of skin cancer that typically appears as a slow-growing, non-melanoma tumor on sun-exposed areas.

What are basal cell carcinomas? ; Basal cell carcinoma predominantly affects Caucasians and is very uncommon in dark-skinned races. BCC is the most common type of carcinoma worldwide and is showing a worldwide increase in incidence2 . ; The sun-exposed areas of the head and neck are the most commonly involved sites . Approximately 80% occur on the head and neck, with the rest mainly on the trunk and lower limbs. ; Solitary, shiny, red nodule with large telangiectatic vessels. ; Often multiple, usually on the upper trunk and shoulders. Equal distribution over the face, trunk and limbs, although the site of predilection seems to vary according to sex (the head in women, the trunk in men)6 .
