This study found that anagen stage protein homogenates and specific epitopes from melanogenesis proteins activated CD8 T cells, suggesting alopecia areata is an anagen-specific disease.

This study introduced a novel in vitro assay for tracking melanosome transfer between melanocytes and keratinocytes, facilitating the quantification of melanin transfer and supporting the role of filopodia as a conduit.

In this study, modulating Tyrosinase expression altered mouse coat color by affecting melanosome accumulation, indicating that melanosome maturity plays a role in determining skin and hair color beyond total melanin content.

This review discusses the biology and development of skin melanocytes, but reports no new clinical findings.

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.
