Co-culture of mouse epidermal cells for studies of pigmentation.

Abstract excerpt

Interactions between melanocytes and keratinocytes in the skin suggest bi-directional interchanges between these two cell types. Thus, melanocytes cultured alone may not accurately reflect the physiology of the skin and the effects of physiological regulators in vivo, because they do not consider possible interactions with keratinocytes. As more and more pigment genes are identified and cloned, the...
