Role of fibroblast-derived factors in the pathogenesis of melasma

15 Jul 2016

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The hyperactive melanocytes present in melasma skin are confined to the epidermis, but epidermal ablation to treat melasma pigmentation may lead to disease recurrence and aggravation. Melanocyte function is regulated by interactions between melanocytes and neighbouring cells such as keratinocytes and fibroblasts. Because melasma skin usually shows dermal changes after exposure to sunlight, we...
