About 70% of our planet is covered by oceans and seas: large, full of life and mysterious.
They are a source of food, way of transportation, oxygen producer, and more.

But the sea is in danger: overfishing, plastic waste, acidification, species extinction.
We need to better understand the marine life and deal with it in a sustainable way, because our life is closely linked to the sea. If it is sick, we cannot stay healthy.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Melanoma is a dangerous skin cancer that can quickly become resistant to treatment, in part through interactions between cancer cells and their surroundings. For example, melanoma cells can secrete factors that activate fibroblasts in the tumor microenvironment, and the resulting cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) facilitate cancer progression. However, the exact interactions between melanoma cells and CAFs remain unclear. To learn more, researchers recently cultured normal human fibroblasts with melanoma cells or melanoma-secreted proteins in vitro. They confirmed that the normal fibroblasts became CAFs with enhanced migration, invasion, and matrix protein degradation abilities, which are properties that facilitate cancer progression. The levels of immune molecules called cytokines and proteins related to blood vessel formation were also upregulated in the CAFs, and secretion of lactate, a common end product of cancer cell metabolism, was increased..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.
