Sustained activation of the Aryl hydrocarbon Receptor transcription factor promotes resistance to BRAF-inhibitors in melanoma

Resistance to BRAF inhibitors limits their clinical benefit in melanoma patients. Here, the authors show that the Aryl hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) is a key mediator of resistant genes and use resveratrol, an AhR antagonist, to revert resistance in melanoma bearing mice.
