Autophagy induction can regulate skin pigmentation by causing melanosome degradation in keratinocytes and melanocytes

Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research, 2020
Autophagy regulates cellular turnover by disassembling unnecessary or dysfunctional constituents. Recent studies demonstrated that autophagy and its regulators play a wide variety of roles in melanocyte biology. Activation of autophagy is known to induce

The Melanocytes of Mammals

The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1960
Melanocytes may be regarded as unicellular, pigment-secreting glands, largely though not entirely confined to the epidermis, of which they are a constant though often un-recognized cellular component. Their numerical incidence, and their branching form, with numerous dichotomizing processes, are such as to form a reticular system within the epidermis ...

The biology of melanocytes

Veterinary Dermatology, 2003
Abstract In veterinary medicine, our understanding of the biology and regulation of melanocytic function is mostly based on information realized from human and murine studies. Improved understanding of the biology of melanocytes is needed to develop more effective treatment regimens for malignant melanoma and other melanocytic disorders. In vertebrates,

Studies on Melanocytes: VI. Melanocytes in the Middle Ear

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1982
Melanocytes are present in the lamina propria of the middle ear mucosa of young children to elderly adults in both whites and blacks. Melanin pigment melanin pigment also is seen in the epithelial cells, so-called melanogenic metaplasia. The melanocytes in the middle ear mucosa are of neural crest origin and their presence explains melanocytic tumors ...

Non‐melanocytic mimics of melanocytic neoplasms

Histopathology, 2011
Bhawan J 
(2012) Histopathology 60, 715–730
Non‐melanocytic mimics of melanocytic neoplasmsOn histopathologic examination, many non‐neoplastic conditions mimic benign or malignant neoplasms. Alternatively, some benign and malignant neoplasms can also mimic non‐neoplastic lesions. This is true of all organ systemsskin is no exception.

The melanocyte and melanoma

The Laryngoscope, 1990
AbstractThis paper reviewed some of the interesting biological aspects of melanocytes and their relationship to the nevus and to melanoma. It also proposed a rationale for “adequate” surgery in the management of melanoma according to level, depth, margins, and trends in treatment.

Melanocytic lesions and melanocyte populations in human epidermis

British Journal of Dermatology, 1991
Basal melanocytes were counted and atypia assessed on an arbitrary scale in punch biopsies from the sun-exposed extensor aspect of the forearm of normal skin and from the covered skin of the buttock of patients with pigmented naevi and control subjects.

Congenital Melanocytic Nevi

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2009
This article reviews congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN), which are present at birth or appear shortly thereafter, and their main histologic features. Several histologic variants and histopathologic criteria that differentiate CMN from other nevi, such as atypical or dysplastic nevi, and from nevoid malignant melanoma, are discussed.

Immunosuppression and melanocyte proliferation

Melanoma Research, 2009
Melanocytes are pigmented cells derived from the neural crest; their proliferation is restrained by immune system. The eruption of nevi after an immunosuppressive condition is a peculiar phenomenon indicating that the immune system may play a major role in limiting proliferation of melanocytes.
