YY1 regulates melanocyte development and function by cooperating with MITF. [PDF]
Studies of coat color mutants have greatly contributed to the discovery of genes that regulate melanocyte development and function. Here, we generated Yy1 conditional knockout mice in the melanocyte-lineage and observed profound melanocyte deficiency and

Iris melanomas are less likely to metastasize than posterior compartment melanomas. The anterior chamber of the eye is an immunosuppressed microenvironment where a wide range of immunosuppressive factors in aqueous humor contribute to the immune ...

An investigation into the role of autoimmunity in vitiligo [PDF]
Vitiligo is an acquired depigmenting disorder characterised by the loss of functional melanocytes from the cutaneous epidermis. A role for autoimmunity is supported by the presence of circulating antibodies and T lymphocytes which react against ...

?-Melanocyte stimulating hormone (?-MSH) is known to have pleiotrophic functions including pigmentary, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and immunoregulatory roles in the mammalian body. It is also reported to influence melanoma invasion with levels of ?-, ?

We reported recently that the inflammatory cytokine tumour necrosis factor ? (TNF-?) can upregulate integrin expression, cell attachment and invasion of cells through fibronectin in a human melanoma cell line (HBL). Furthermore, the actions of TNF-? were

Super-High Magnification Dermoscopy in 190 Clinically Atypical Pigmented Lesions
Super-high (×400) magnification dermoscopy (D400) is a new non-invasive imaging technique that has been shown to add information for the differential diagnosis of melanocytic lesions in a pilot study.

Detection of Cellular Senescence in Human Primary Melanocytes and Malignant Melanoma Cells In Vitro
Detection and quantification of senescent cells remain difficult due to variable phenotypes and the absence of highly specific and reliable biomarkers. It is therefore widely accepted to use a combination of multiple markers and cellular characteristics ...

A Comparison Between Phorbol 12 Myristate 13 Acetate and Phorbol 12, 13 Dibutyrate in Human Melanocyte Culture [PDF]
Introduction: Melanocyte culture is an integral part of the studies of skin biology and cosmetic applications. After the introduction of selective medium for the culture of human melanocyte using Phorbol 12-myristate13-acetate (PMA) in 1982, a lot of ...
