1. However, MITF also modulates the state of melanocyte differentiation.

2. Another type of cell is the melanocyte.

3. Inside the melanocyte a number of mechanisms control the formation of pigment.

4. BACKGROUND:Among multiple signals which affect the function of melanocyte, nitrogen monoxide (NO) has been thought as an important signal molecule.

5. Scientists found that such melanocyte stem cells lacked a crucial enzyme that was present in similar stem cells found in the skin, which do not lose colour with age.

6. Conclusion ET-1 is more effective in enhancing melanocyte adhesion and migration than SCF.

7. Conclusion As a specific antigen in mixed melanocyte lymphocyte reaction, melanocyte has a weak effect on the lymphocytes.

8. Vitiligo is an acquired pigmentary disorder resulting from melanocyte destruction, which is thought to be mediated by apoptosis.

9. Results: Anchoring cells were mostly amelanotic melanocyte in early stage, only a small quantity of keratinocyte and none of fibroblast.

10. Malignant melanoma of the skin is caused by cancerous proliferation of melanocytes.

11. Objective:To develop a compound staining method showing collagenic,[http:///melanocyte.html] elastic fibers and melanocyte in skin tissues.

12. Recent study supported this view that this disease is a disease with functional defect of melanocyte and abnormal formation of melanosome .

13. The new study uncovers a relatively unknown protein that regulates the melanocyte 's "decision" to ward off cancer by either entering a programmed hibernation or committing suicide.

14. Conclusions: Infant foreskins treated with dispase and trypsin and cultured with 254 containing HMGS, were suitable for melanocyte culture.

15. We have made good winning on the allograft of melanocyte to vitiligo after several years study. The method of melanocytic allograft will be used on stable vitiligo.

16. Emodin hypo-acid, effective component of rhubarb, can affect proliferation of melanocyte and regulate activity of tyrosinase in cells.

17. Objective : To isolate and culture hair outer root sheath amelanotic melanocyte derived from human scalp.

18. Objective To establish the technique of Culture of normal human melanocyte , keratinocyte and fibroblast isolated from the same donor.

19. BHA Cell Differential Agent is extracted through botanic extraction technology of Japan macromolecule energy. It is a kind of esculent products with very strong ability to differentiate melanocyte .

20. This gene acts in the hair follicles where the melanocyte can switch between eumelanin and phaeomelanin (dark pigment and tan pigment).

21. SCF has been suggested play an important role in melanocyte migration, survival and melanogenesis.
