Tanning response and melanocyte differentiation are mediated by the central transcription
factor MITF . This involves the rapid and selective induction of melanocyte maturation genes, …

In the neural crest lineage, progressive fate restriction and stem cell assignment are crucial
for both development and regeneration. Whereas fate commitment events have distinct …

Melanin protects skin cells from ultraviolet radiation-induced DNA damage. However,
intermediates of eumelanin are highly reactive quinones that are potentially genotoxic. In this study…

Vertebrate pigmentation is an outcome of an interplay of several signaling pathways that result
in immense diversity of pigment patterns observed across the animal kingdom. Transitory …

Anterograde melanosome transport is essential for adaptive skin tanning response. However,
the molecular components involved, their interplay and regulation by external cues in …

Melanocytes are specialized neural crest-derived cells present in the epidermal skin. These
cells synthesize melanin pigment that protects the genome from harmful ultraviolet radiations…

In the neural crest lineage, progressive fate-restriction and stem cell assignment are critical
for both development and regeneration. While the fate-commitment events have distinct …

Tanning response and melanocyte differentiation are mediated by the central transcription
factor MITF. Enigmatically, these involve rapid and selective induction of melanocyte …
