The effect of constitutive pigmentation on the measured emissivity of human skin.

PLoS ONE, 2020
BackgroundThe measurement of body temperature has become commonplace in the current COVID-19 pandemic. Body temperature can be measured using thermal infrared imaging, a safe, non-contact method that relies on the emissivity of the skin being known to ...

Genetic loci associated with skin pigmentation in African Americans and their effects on vitamin D deficiency.

PLoS Genetics, 2021
A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) in African descent populations identified novel loci associated with skin pigmentation. However, how genomic variations affect skin pigmentation and how these skin pigmentation gene variants affect serum 25 ...

Key regulatory role of dermal fibroblasts in pigmentation as demonstrated using a reconstructed skin model: impact of photo-aging. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
To study cutaneous pigmentation in a physiological context, we have previously developed a functional pigmented reconstructed skin model composed of a melanocyte-containing epidermis grown on a dermal equivalent comprising living fibroblasts. The present

Genome-wide association studies of quantitatively measured skin, hair, and eye pigmentation in four European populations. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Pigmentation of the skin, hair, and eyes varies both within and between human populations. Identifying the genes and alleles underlying this variation has been the goal of many candidate gene and several genome-wide association studies (GWAS).

Pathogenic and therapeutic role for NRF2 signaling in ultraviolet light–induced skin pigmentation

JCI Insight, 2020
Mottled skin pigmentation and solar lentigines from chronic photodamage with aging involve complex interactions between keratinocytes and melanocytes. However, the precise signaling mechanisms that could serve as therapeutic targets are unclear.
