Brain metastases of melanoma—mechanisms of attack on their defence system by engineered stem cells in the microenvironment

Abstract: This report gives a better emphasis on the role of targeted effectors (e.g. a combination of 5-FC with CD-NSPCs as compared to the application of NSPCs alone) and how such delivery of pro-drug activating enzymes and other tumor-killing substances may overcome melanocytic defence system, interact with and promote the host defence and immune response modulations not only in melanoma but, potentially, in other highly-metastatic cancers.

Key words: Melanoma, Brain metastases, Neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs), Cytosine deaminase
