Abstract B50: Actin remodeling confers BRAF inhibitor resistance to melanoma cells through YAP/TAZ activation
ConclusionOur results implicate the actin cytoskeleton in the induction of YAP/TAZ-dependent resistance to vemurafenib, and inhibition of actin remodeling might be a promising synthetic lethal strategy to suppress resistance in BRAF inhibitor therapies.Citation Format: Min Hwan Kim, Joon Kim.
