Shining Light on Skin Pigmentation: The Darker and the Brighter Side of Effects of UV Radiation<sup>†</sup>

10 Mar 2012

Abstract excerpt

The term barrier function as applied to human skin often connotes the physical properties of this organ that provides protection from its surrounding environment. This term does not generally include skin pigmentation. However, skin pigmentation, which is the result of melanin produced in melanocytes residing in the basal layer of the skin and exported to the keratinocytes in the upper layers, serves equally...
