The Role of Keratinocytes in Disorders of Pigmentation

From the extremities of dendritic melanocytes, melanosomes are transfered to the neighbouring  keratinocytes. However, the mechanisms  implicated in this transfer are not well understood but involve an intimate contact between a melanocyte and a keratinocyte (in the epidermis). This in turn implies the presence of cell membrane proteins. The incapacity to do this explains the […]
