The usefulness of c-Kit in the immunohistochemical assessment of melanocytic lesions [PDF]
, 2011 C-Kit (CD117), the receptor for the stem cell factor, a growth factor for melanocyte migra- tion and proliferation, has shown differential immunostaining in various benign and malig- nant melanocytic lesions. The purpose of this study is to compare c-Kit

A newborn with a rare association of various congenital skin disorders – Answer
Journal of Pediatric and Neonatal Individualized Medicine, 2022 We report a female newborn with a combination of 3 skin lesions: Mongolian spots, port-wine stains, and cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita. This association is an unclassifiable form of phacomatosis and only 7 similar cases have been published in ...

Molecular and cellular pathogenesis of melanoma initiation and progression [PDF]
, 2013 Melanoma is a malignant tumour of melanocytes, which can spread to other organs of the body resulting in severe and/or lethal malignancies. Melanocytes are pigment producing cells found in deep layer of the epidermis and are originated from melanocytes ...

Vitiligo and autoimmune thyroid disorders [PDF]
, 2017 Vitiligo represents the most common cause of acquired skin, hair and oral depigmentation, affecting 0.5-1% of the population worldwide. It is clinically characterized by the appearance of disfiguring circumscribed skin macules following melanocyte ...

Mechanisms contributing to differential regulation of PAX3 downstream target genes in normal human epidermal melanocytes versus melanoma cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Melanoma is a highly aggressive and drug resistant form of skin cancer. It arises from melanocytes, the pigment producing cells of the skin. The formation of these melanocytes is driven by the transcription factor PAX3 early during embryonic development.

Caveolin-1 is a risk factor for postsurgery metastasis in preclinical melanoma models [PDF]
, 2014 Melanomas are highly lethal skin tumours that are frequently treated by surgical resection. However, the efficacy of such procedures is often limited by tumour recurrence and metastasis. Caveolin-1 (CAV1) has been attributed roles as a tumour suppressor,
