Three Iranian men had reddish-brown facial pigmentation with no effective treatment.
research The potential impact of melanosomal pH and metabolism on melanoma
Melanin may help melanoma cells grow by aiding their metabolism.
research The early repigmentation pattern of vitiligo is related to the source of melanocytes and by the choice of therapy: a retrospective cohort study
Repigmentation patterns in vitiligo depend on melanocyte source, lesion status, and therapy choice.
research 516 Dynein is involved in the movement, distribution, acidity, and transfer of melanosomes
Dynlt3 is important for melanosome transport and skin coloration.
research Human melanocyte development and melanoma dedifferentiation at single cell resolution

research Role of Dermal Melanocytes in Cutaneous Pigmentation of Stasis Dermatitis
Melanin and melanocytes contribute to the brown pigmentation in stasis dermatitis.
research Anatomic location of primary melanoma: Survival differences and sun exposure
Where melanoma is on the body affects survival chances; melanomas on the back of the head are worse, while those on thighs and arms are less severe, and more sun exposure might improve survival.
research Becker's Melanosis and Hypertrichosis*
Becker's Melanosis and Hypertrichosis mainly affects young males, causing brown skin patches and extra hair on one side of the upper body.
research Mode of redifferentiation and melanogenesis of melanocytes in mouse hair follicles
