New research in mice and cell cultures shows for the first time that a key circular RNA can block the spread of aggressive skin cancer.

Although obesity is a known risk factor for some cancers, its relationship with skin cancer has been harder to pin down. A recent study takes a fresh look.

Using a new mouse model of human melanoma, scientists show how the aggressive skin cancer can start in immature, pigment producing cells in hair follicles.

A new study suggests that people who have a higher vitamin A intake may have a lower risk of developing a common form of skin cancer.

Scientists find that fat cells transfer gene-altering proteins to melanoma cells, making them more aggressive. They also show a way to block this process.
