Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered a possible reason why some cases of melanoma—a dangerous form of skin cancer—spread to the brain. Their study, published in Molecular Cell, highlights the role of a group of proteins called the PBAF chromatin remodeling complex in keeping melanoma from getting worse.
