High correlation between skin color based on CIELAB color space, epidermal melanocyte ratio, and melanocyte melanin content [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background To treat skin color disorders, such as vitiligo or burns, melanocytes are transplanted for tissue regeneration. However, melanocyte distribution in the human body varies with age and location, making it difficult to select the optimal donor ...

Melanocyte progenitor cells reside in human subcutaneous adipose tissue.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Based on the assumption that some progenitor cells in an organ might reside in neighboring adipose tissue, we investigated whether melanocyte progenitor cells reside in human subcutaneous adipose tissue.

Regulation of zebrafish melanocyte development by ligand-dependent BMP signaling
eLife, 2019 Preventing terminal differentiation is important in the development and progression of many cancers including melanoma. Recent identification of the BMP ligand GDF6 as a novel melanoma oncogene showed GDF6-activated BMP signaling suppresses ...

YY1 regulates melanocyte development and function by cooperating with MITF. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 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

Race Does Not Predict Melanocyte Heterogeneous Responses to Dermal Fibroblast-Derived Mediators. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Abnormal pigmentation following cutaneous injury causes significant patient distress and represents a barrier to recovery. Wound depth and patient characteristics influence scar pigmentation.

The melanocyte lineage in development and disease
Development, 2015 Melanocyte development provides an excellent model for studying more complex developmental processes. Melanocytes have an apparently simple aetiology, differentiating from the neural crest and migrating through the developing embryo to specific locations

Bridging scales in cancer progression: Mapping genotype to phenotype using neural networks [PDF]
, 2014 In this review we summarize our recent efforts in trying to understand the role of heterogeneity in cancer progression by using neural networks to characterise different aspects of the mapping from a cancer cells genotype and environment to its phenotype.
