December 2015 in “Journal of the Medical Sciences (Berkala Ilmu Kedokteran)” This review discusses transplantation of melanocyte stem cells for vitiligo treatment and reports no new clinical results; it suggests the procedure could be effective in reactivating melanocyte precursors for repigmentation.
This study discusses the safety, complications, and limitations of melanocyte transplantation for treating vitiligo, noting that these techniques are generally safe and often combined with medical treatments for repigmenting stable vitiligo macules.
April 2019 in “Institutional Repositories DataBase (IRDB)” This study demonstrated that human iPSC-derived melanocytes, when transplanted into mice, can reconstitute pigmented hair follicles and integrate into normal tissue, suggesting their potential as a cellular therapy for depigmentation.
