melanocyte

Overall skin coloration is determined by the degree to which cells in the skin called melanocytes produce the pigment melanin.

Sunlight is therefore a stimulus for melanocytes to produce melanin because they are trying to protect the body from UV rays.

Graying of hair is a result of a decreased number of melanocytes, which produce fewer melanosomes.

The influence of nicotinamide on melanosome movement velocity and its distribution in UVA irradiated human skin melanocytes were studied.

The skin biopsy revealed that increased pigmentation of the basal layer and increase of melanocytes without incontinence of pigments.

The disease is caused by an increase of melanocytes in the iris, sclera , and surrounding structures.

Vitiligo is a depigmentation disorder resulting from autoimmune destruction of cutaneous melanocytes.

Results: After seven days of culture, the melanocytes were 70% confluence. They were dendritic cells with dipolar, tripolar or multipolar.

The increased production of melanin that occurs after melanocytes are exposed to sunlight results in a suntan- or the darkening of freckles.

If melanocytes do not reach the ear, the ear canal remains closed.

To investigate the role of glutamate pathway in melanocytes. [Methods]Human melanocytes were cultured primarily.

Cytokines can affect the biological characters of melanocytes through autocrine or paracrine modes of action.

In this review an overview of recent advances in the understanding of melanosome movement within epidermal melanocytes is given.

Darker-skinned people tan more deeply than lighter-skinned people because their melanocytes produce more melanin.

Vogt -Koyanagi-Harada(VKH) disease is a panuveitis of autoimmune nature where the melanocytes act both as an inducer and as a target.

One for Kipling, perhaps. "How the jaguar got his melanocytes. "

It is most likely that the loss of melanocytes in vitiligo arises through a combination of pathogenic mechanisms that act in concert.

The volume, life, and activity of melanocytes in a hair follicle is closely related with the growth cycle of follicle.

This result suggests that such inclusions may be related to molluscum viral infection of melanocytes.

People with freckles have a normal number of melanocytes; their melanocytes just create clusters of melanin.

Inside these melanocytes the formation of pigment granules takes place.

We reported 120 vitiligo patients treated with transplantation of cultured autologous pure melanocytes after CO2 laser-abrasion.

Biosynthetic pathway of melanin and the role of micro organs in melanocytes were shown.

Objective To investigate the location, fine structure of melanocytes in human fetal scalp hair follicles.

Nevi , which are benign, are also caused by abnormal growth and differentiation of melanocytes.

When we are young, our hair is colouredby the pigments produced by cells in the hair follicle known as melanocytes.

Now the melanocytes left over after transplantation are cryostored routinely in our laboratory.

It is composed of hair follicle melanocytes are vivid.
