Trending and Emerging
- Genomic and Molecular Characterization of Melanoma:
Recent publications increasingly focus on the genomic landscape of melanoma, exploring genetic mutations, epigenetic modifications, and their implications for treatment, which is essential for precision medicine. - Immunotherapy and Immune Microenvironment:
Research on the role of the immune system in melanoma, particularly studies involving immunotherapy responses, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and tumor microenvironment interactions, has gained significant traction. - Innovative Therapeutic Approaches:
There is a growing interest in novel therapeutic strategies, including combination therapies and the use of biomarkers to predict treatment responses, highlighting the shift towards personalized medicine. - Pigment Cell Biology and Its Clinical Relevance:
Research that connects basic pigment cell biology with clinical implications, particularly in understanding skin cancer and pigment-related disorders, is becoming increasingly prominent. - Single-Cell and Multi-Omics Approaches:
Emerging methodologies, including single-cell RNA sequencing and multi-omics analyses, are being adopted to gain deeper insights into the heterogeneity of melanoma and its microenvironment.
Declining or Waning
- Basic Animal Models of Melanoma:
The use of traditional animal models for melanoma research, such as xenografts or older transgenic models, has seen a decrease as newer technologies and advanced models, including humanized mice and organoids, gain traction. - Epidemiological Studies without Molecular Insights:
Epidemiological research focusing solely on incidence and survival rates without integrating molecular or genetic analyses has become less frequent, as there is a shift towards studies that combine clinical data with molecular profiling. - Historical Reviews of Melanoma Treatments:
While historical perspectives on melanoma treatments were once prevalent, there is a waning interest in this area as the focus shifts towards cutting-edge therapies and novel treatment strategies.
