Glossary Melanocyte Transplantation

medical procedure transferring pigment cells to restore skin color

Melanocyte transplantation is a medical procedure used to treat conditions like vitiligo, where patches of skin lose their pigment. In this procedure, healthy melanocytes (the cells responsible for producing skin pigment) are taken from a patient's own body and transplanted into the depigmented areas to restore normal skin color. This technique aims to repopulate the affected areas with functional pigment-producing cells.
