Melanosis of the Uterine Cervix: A Rare Case Report [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2021 Cervical melanosis is a rare entity in the spectrum of melanocytic lesions of uterine cervix. Melanosis is defined as presence of melanocytes in the basal layer of squamous epithelium causing hyperpigmentation.

‐expressing Schwann cell precursors contribute to skin and cochlear melanocytes, but not to vestibular melanocytes [PDF]
, 2020 For a long time, melanocytes were believed to be exclusively derived from neural crest cells migrating from the neural tube toward the developing skin. This notion was then challenged by studies suggesting that melanocytes could also be made from neural ...

Active Notch1 confers a transformed phenotype to primary human melanocytes [PDF]
, 2009 The importance of mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling in melanoma is underscored by the prevalence of activating mutations in N-Ras and B-Raf, yet clinical development of inhibitors of this pathway has been largely ineffective, suggesting that ...

Repigmentation by outer-root-sheath-derived melanocytes: proof of concept in vitiligo and leucoderma [PDF]
, 2009 BACKGROUND: Treatment of depigmented skin is an unmet medical need. OBJECTIVE: Melanocytes or stem cells thereof residing in the outer root sheath (ORS) of hair follicles might be used to repigment skin.

Imiquimod induces apoptosis of human melanocytes. [PDF]
, 2010 Development of vitiligo-like hypopigmentary lesions associated with topical imiquimod has been reported. We hypothesized that mode of action of imiquimod in melanocytes may include triggering of apoptosis resulted in loss of cells, which may be a ...

Melanocytes: A Window into the Nervous System [PDF]
, 2012 Melanocytes are pigment-producing cells that originate from the dorsal portions of the closing neural tube in vertebrate embryos. Similar to neurons, they are derived from pluripotent neural crest cells that differentiate into numerous cell lineages. The

PLoS ONE, 2020 OBJECTIVE:Melanocytes play a central role in skin homeostasis. In this study, we focus on the function of melanocyte releasing exosomes as well as exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) and investigate whether ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation exerts an impact on it.
