Methods and Compositions for Treating Melanoma (UCLA Case No. 2021-324)

The Graeber Laboratory at UCLA discovered a novel mechanism for treating melanoma using ferroptosis, a type of programmed cell death, that shows promise against therapy resistance. BACKGROUND: Melanoma is a highly aggressive skin cancer that spreads throughout the body and can be fatal if left untreated. Therapies for melanoma range from immunotherapy...

Strategies to Detect, Prevent and Reverse Acquired Resistance to Immune Checkpoint Blockade Therapy (UCLA Case No. 2024-085)

UCLA researchers in the Department of Medicine have uncovered novel mechanism of acquired resistance against immune checkpoint blockade therapy in melanoma patients. BACKGROUND: Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy is a type of cancer immunotherapy that targets immune system components in order to reactivate immune cells to combat tumor cells....
