An in vitro investigation into the pigmentary phenotype of melanocytes and keratinocyte co-cultures to improve wound healing

, 2013
Includes abstract.Includes bibliographical references.On healing, partial-thickness burn wounds usually result in depigmentation of the skin. This is due to the loss of melanocytes.

Imbalance of the antioxidant pool in malignant melanocytes and in normal melanocytes from melanoma patients.

, 1996
In order to evaluate the free radical defense systems of melanocytes and their possible correlation with melanoma, we have studied in cultured normal human melanocytes (20), normal melanocytes from melanoma patients (15), and melanoma cells (40) the ...

The association between neural crest‐derived glia and melanocyte lineages throughout development and disease

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient cell population that emerges from the dorsal neural tube during neurulation and migrates extensively throughout the embryo. Among their diverse derivatives, glial cells (such as Schwann and satellite ganglionic cells) and melanocytes represent two major lineages. In vitro studies suggested they share a common

Insights into human melanocyte development and characteristics through pluripotent stem cells combined with single-cell sequencing

iScience
Summary: Human pigment-related diseases are closely linked to melanocytes, yet our understanding of their development has largely relied on animal models.

Ecto-mesenchymal stem cells from dental pulp are committed to differentiate into active melanocytes [PDF]

European Cells & Materials, 2010
Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are multipotent stem cells derived from neural crest and mesenchyme and have the capacity to differentiate into multiple cell lineages.

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.

Secretopathies emerge as a new class of neurocristopathies

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient embryonic population of cells that give rise to a wide range of structures, including craniofacial cartilage and bone, peripheral neurons and glia, as well as components of the cardiac outflow tract, among others.

Human Melanocytes Cultured from Nevi and Melanomas

, 1986
The requirements for growth factors of human melanocytes in culture may be dependent on the stage of malignant transformation. Several factors synergistically promote the viability and proliferation of human neonatal melanocytes in culture. They are TPA (

Assessing Clinical Severity and Prognosis in Adolescents With Anorexia Nervosa and Atypical Anorexia Nervosa Using the Albumin‐Globulin Ratio

European Eating Disorders Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The albumin‐globulin ratio (AGR) is a biochemical marker reflecting nutritional and inflammatory status, with significant prognostic value in chronic conditions. This study examined its association with clinical/biochemical markers in adolescents with anorexia nervosa (AN) and atypical AN (AAN).

Vitiligo and the melanocyte reservoir

Indian Journal of Dermatology, 2009
Repigmentation of vitiligo depends on available melanocytes from three possible sources: from the hair follicle unit which is the main provider of pigment cells, from the border of vitiligo lesions, and from unaffected melanocytes within depigmented areas; pigment cells at these locations originate a perifollicular, border spreading and a diffuse ...
