Cross-species analysis reveals unique and shared roles of Sox9 and Sox10 (SOXE family) transcription factors in melanoma

This study investigates the roles of SOX9 and SOX10 in melanoma across species, finding that SOX9 is associated with metastasis while SOX10 is linked to proliferation.

SATB2 induction of a neural crest mesenchyme-like program drives invasion and drug resistance in melanoma

This study shows SATB2 drives melanoma invasion and drug resistance by inducing a neural crest mesenchyme-like transcriptional program in zebrafish and human models.

Functional in vivo characterization of zebrafish sox10 enhancers in melanoma and neural crest

The paper identifies a sox10 enhancer in zebrafish that drives neural crest and melanoma activity, revealing its role in epigenetic regulation of melanoma initiation.
