    GlossaryMelanocyte Migration

    movement of pigment-producing cells to skin and hair follicles

    Melanocyte migration refers to the movement of melanocytes, which are cells responsible for producing the pigment melanin, from their origin in the neural crest to their final destinations in the skin, hair follicles, and other tissues. This process is crucial for proper pigmentation and is influenced by various genetic and environmental factors.
