Defining a Role for Inducible Heat Shock Protein 70 (HSP70i) In Mediating Autoimmune Vitiligo
… leaving 0.5% of the population with progressive depigmentation. Current treatments offer limited efficacy. Observations that heat shock proteins (HSPs) can serve as adjuvants in antitumor vaccines first suggested to us a link between HSPs and stress-induced vitiligo. Such proteins are marvelously …

Automatic 3D surface area measurement for vitiligo lesions
Vitiligo is a long term skin depigmentation disease that may result in psychological stress. Monitoring changes in vitiligo lesion area allows assessment of treatment efficacy and aids in clinical decision making. Currently existing approaches for vitiligo lesion measurement are either inefficient …

An in vitro investigation into the pigmentary phenotype of melanocytes and keratinocyte co-cultures to improve wound healing
… partial-thickness burn wounds usually result in depigmentation of the skin. This is due to the loss of melanocytes. The lack of pigmentation in the healed wound is particularly prominent in dark-skinned individuals and could result in serious psychosocial consequences such as low self-esteem, …

Comparison of coping, quality of life and psychosocial well-being in children and adult patients with vitiligo before and after treatment with pseudocatalase PC-KUS. A questionnaire-based investigation into social anxiety, helplessness, anxious-depressive mood, quality of life and depression before and after treatment with pseudocatalase PC-KUS depending on demographic characteristics and experiences.
… an idiopathic, non-contagious and often familial depigmentation disorder affecting both sexes equally. The mostly progressive and patchy loss of the inherited skin colour is not only a cosmetical problem, it has a profound impact on the patient¿s well-being. Stigmatisation and rejection often …

Chemoprevention of Familial Melanoma
… with either agent. MBEH induced significant skin depigmentation in both strains, not observed upon 4-TBP treatment. A significant increase in the migration of Langerhans cells towards the dermis in human skin explants, upon MBEH treatment, suggested selective elicitation of an immune response. …

Regulation of fate specification in stem cells of the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea
… of new cells remains unchanged during depigmentation and regeneration. In regenerating animals, a decrease in the magnitude of pigment cell turnover allows for the accumulation and restoration of pigment cell numbers during regeneration. Furthermore, we demonstrate that exposure to UV-B …

Regiões genómicas associadas à variação da coloração da pelagem em bovinos da raça GIR
… is a suggestion that some MC1R haplotypes cause depigmentation in Gyr cattle. In the present study, the genetic effects on coat color were evaluated and new candidate genes influencing the trait in the Gir breed were also proposed. Thus, making it possible to direct future studies that seek to …
