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.

Genomic ancestry, self-reported "color" and quantitative measures of skin pigmentation in Brazilian admixed siblings. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 A current concern in genetic epidemiology studies in admixed populations is that population stratification can lead to spurious results. The Brazilian census classifies individuals according to self-reported "color", but several studies have demonstrated

Understanding pseudo-albinism in sole (Solea senegalensis): a transcriptomics and metagenomics approach [PDF]
, 2019 Pseudo-albinism is a pigmentation disorder observed in flatfish aquaculture with a complex, multi-factor aetiology. We tested the hypothesis that pigmentation abnormalities are an overt signal of more generalised modifications in tissue structure and ...
