Melanoma is a life-threatening disease caused by mutations in pigment producing cells. Numerous treatments against melanoma were approved in the last decades, however, they often cause severe side effects and in most cases do not result in a complete cure. mRNA (messenger RNA) as therapeutic agent provides a new avenue for melanoma treatment and several advantages over conventional treatments.
