This article discusses melanocyte development from neural crest cells and reports no new experimental results; the authors suggest a broader range of functions for melanocytes than previously recognized.

This study found that tribuloside, a flavonoid from Tribulus terrestris L., enhances melanin production in human melanocytes, zebrafish, and human skin samples without causing toxicity, potentially through inhibiting PDE to increase cAMP levels and promote the melanin biosynthesis pathway.

This review discusses the interplay between signaling/transcription factor-mediated and epigenetic mechanisms in skin development and regeneration, highlighting the need for further exploration of epigenome reorganization in these processes.

This study suggests that a purified sphingolipid fraction can activate melanocyte stem cells via p38 signalling, potentially offering a non-UV-based treatment for vitiligo, though additional validation is needed.

Fibroblasts can be turned into melanocytes for potential skin treatments.
