    Glossary Pigment Production

    biological process where cells create color-giving substances

    Pigment production refers to the biological process by which cells create pigments, such as melanin, that give color to skin, hair, and eyes. In humans, melanocytes are the specialized cells responsible for producing melanin, which helps protect against UV radiation and determines variations in skin and hair color.
