Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a relatively common disorder characterized by cutaneous pigmented maculas, multiple neurofibromas and Lisch nodules (pigmented iris hamartomas). This disorder is retained being a neurocristopathy. Melanocytes are neural crest derivates too. Twenty-six patients with neurofibromatosis associated to cutaneous malignant melanoma have been reported till now, but data on association between these two pathologies are lacking. One more case of malignant cutaneous melanoma in a patient with neurofibromatosis is reported and the hypothesis of a more frequent association than usually believed of these two pathologies is discussed.

Previously, we demonstrated that natural host-defence peptide caerin 1.1/caerin 1.9 (F1/F3) increases the efficacy of anti-PD-1 and therapeutic vaccine, in a HPV16 + TC-1 tumour model, but the anti-tumor mechanism of F1/F3 is still unclear.

Besides the important pathogenic mechanisms of melanoma, including BRAF-driven and immunosuppressive microenvironment, genomic instability and abnormal DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) repair are significant driving forces for its occurrence and development. This suggests investigating novel therapeutic strategies from the synthetic lethality perspective. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 4 (PARP4) is known to be a member of the PARP protein family.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is present in >10% of all people admitted to critical care and is associated with severe morbidity and mortality. Despite more than half a century since its first description, no efficacious pharmacological therapies have been developed, and little progress has been made in improving clinical outcomes. Neutrophils are the principal drivers of ARDS, with their priming and subsequent aberrant downstream functions, including interleukin (IL) 1β and IL-18 secretion, central to the disease pathogenesis.
