The Mechanism of Melanocyte Dendrite Formation: The Impact of Differentiating Keratinocytes

1 Feb 1998

Abstract excerpt

In human epidermis one dendritic melanocyte interacts with about 36 keratinocytes and supplies them with melanin. In contrast to the vivo situation melanocytes in culture are far less dendritic. In the present study different culture systems were tested in order to observe the mechanism of melanocyte dendrite formation. In particular, we focused on the role of keratinocytes in this process.
