Melanocyte differentiation and mechanosensation are differentially modulated by distinct extracellular matrix proteins

EMBO Reports
Melanocyte dysfunctions can lead to pigmentation disorders or melanoma. Melanocytes interact context-dependently with various types of ECM, including collagens and fibronectin.

A Simple Drug Delivery System for Platelet-Derived Bioactive Molecules, to Improve Melanocyte Stimulation in Vitiligo Treatment

Nanomaterials, 2020
Vitiligo is the most common depigmentation disorder of the skin. Currently, its therapy focuses on the halting of the immune response and stimulation of the regenerative processes, leading to the restoration of normal melanocyte function.
