The success of immune-targeted therapies in advanced NMSCs led us to anticipate that NMSCs harbored significant populations of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes with potential anti-tumor activity. The main aim of this study was to characterize T cells infiltrating NMSCs. Flow cytometry and immuno...

Two cases of Darier disease efficiently treated with combination of oral retino...
Garrido, Pedro; Queirós, Catarina; Soares-de-Almeida, Luís; Borges-Costa, JoãoDarier disease (DD) is an uncommon autosomal dominant genodermatosis caused by mutations of the ATP2A2 gene, which encodes the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum calcium-ATPase isoform 2 (SERCA2). Disfunction of this pump disturbs intracellular Ca2+ signaling, compromising keratinocyte differentiation and intercellular adhesion. Although many therapeutic modalities have been investigated, treatment of DD remain...
