More melanoblasts in hair follicles mean better survival and proper hair pigmentation.
research 1229 Melanocyte cell states defined and visualized in developing mouse skin
Researchers found three types of melanocytes in developing mouse skin, each with different genes and locations.
research Melanocytes: The new Black
Melanocytes are crucial for skin pigmentation and can affect conditions like melanoma, vitiligo, and albinism, as well as hair color and hearing.
research Morphologic comparison of cultured human epidermis melanocytes,amelanotic melanocytes from hair follicles and mouse melanoma cells observed by atomic force microscope
Melanin granules can be expelled by exocytosis.
research Heterogeneity of neural crest-derived melanocytes
