    GlossaryMelanocyte Differentiation

    process where cells develop to produce skin and hair pigment

    Melanocyte differentiation is the process by which precursor cells develop into melanocytes, the specialized cells responsible for producing melanin, the pigment that gives color to our skin, hair, and eyes. This process involves a series of genetic and biochemical changes that enable these cells to produce and distribute melanin effectively, playing a crucial role in protecting the skin from UV radiation and contributing to pigmentation patterns.
