The biology of melanocytes

28 Mar 2003

Abstract excerpt

In veterinary medicine, our understanding of the biology and regulation of melanocytic function is mostly based on information realized from human and murine studies. Improved understanding of the biology of melanocytes is needed to develop more effective treatment regimens for malignant melanoma and other melanocytic disorders. In vertebrates, melanocytes are well known for their role in skin pigmentation, hair...
