The anti-tumor activity of a neutralizing nanobody targeting leptin receptor in a mouse model of melanoma.

Environmental and genetic activation of a brain-adipocyte axis inhibits cancer progression. Leptin is the primary peripheral mediator of this anticancer effect in a mouse model of melanoma. In this study we assessed the effect of a leptin receptor antagonist on melanoma progression. Local administra...
