biostudies-literatureUnknown5(7-8)Vitiello MIn this short report, we pinpoint some technical and conceptual flaws that we found in the article entitled "miR-204-5p and miR-211-5p contribute to BRAF inhibitor resistance in melanoma" (Díaz-Martínez et al., Cancer Research 2018). We also discuss how, in our opinion, these flaws led Díaz-Martínez and colleagues to incorrect conclusions about the biological role that miR-204 and miR-211 play in melanoma and about the terms of their involvement in the phenomenon of resistance to BRAF inhibitors.Oncoscience248-251https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC6142896biostudies-literatureBiological role of miR-204 and miR-211 in melanoma.PMC6142896D'Aurizio RPoliseno LVitiello MfalseBiological role of miR-204 and miR-211 in melanoma.In this short report, we pinpoint some technical and conceptual flaws that we found in the article entitled "miR-204-5p and miR-211-5p contribute to BRAF inhibitor resistance in melanoma" (Díaz-Martínez et al., Cancer Research 2018).
