  • Association of gut microbiota and immune gene expression with response to targeted therapy in BRAF mutated melanoma

    Association of gut microbiota and immune gene expression with response to targeted therapy in BRAF mutated melanoma

    Previous studies have linked increased alpha diversity and microbial richness in melanoma patients, particularly species from the Firmicutes phylum, with favourable ICI response and adverse effects occurrence7,17,18. In parallel, BRAF- or…
