BRN2 is a non-canonical melanoma tumor-suppressor
Nature Communications, 2021 The transcription factor BRN2 regulates melanoma migration and invasion, but its role during melanoma initiation is unclear. Here the authors show that BRN2 is a haplo-insufficient tumour suppressor that positively regulates PTEN expression and in the ...

Cutaneous and uveal melanoma: two different cancers in therapeutic needs
Comptes Rendus Biologies, 2021 Melanocytes are located in various parts of the human body, such as the skin and the eye. Their transformation leads to melanoma, an aggressive and deadly neoplasm.

A role for Dynlt3 in melanosome movement, distribution, acidity and transfer
Communications Biology, 2021 Aktary et al. identify novel roles for the dynein light chain Dynlt3 in melanosome transport, maturation, and transfer to keratinocytes. They also find that the Wnt/βcatenin signalling pathway controls Dynlt3 levels and thus also contributes to the ...

Melanocytes and Their Diseases [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2014 Human melanocytes are distributed not only in the epidermis and in hair follicles but also in mucosa, cochlea (ear), iris (eye), and mesencephalon (brain) among other tissues. Melanocytes, which are derived from the neural crest, are unique in that they produce eu-/pheo-melanin pigments in unique membrane-bound organelles termed melanosomes, which can ...

Successful Repigmentation of Full-Thickness Wound Healing in Fraser’s Dolphins (Lagenodelphis hosei)
Animals, 2022 Fraser’s dolphins (Lagenodelphis hosei) exhibit the capability to restore nearly normal pigmentation after full-thickness wounding. However, the association among melanocytes, melanin and skin pigmentation during wound healing in cetaceans has yet to be ...

Cancer, 1988 The clinical, histopathologic, immunohistochemical, and electron microscopic findings of two cases of melanocytic schwannoma are reported. One case, which occurred in the parotid gland, is believed to be the first reported in this location. The other case was located in the sacral spinal region.
