“A series of peels is usually recommended to achieve visible results on acne, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, melasma and photodamage.”

“This laser is use to erase the melasma which is popularly known as brown spots.”

“Conclusion: Good tolerance and efficiency of treatment for the management of melasma.”

“She had beaten off the disease five years ago after a melanoma had been found on her leg.”

“Patients with melanoma require close follow-up because they are at risk for recurrence and diagnosis of a second primary tumor.”

“Persons who have a tendency to burn and freckle rather than tan also have an increased melanoma risk.”

“A punch biopsy at the border of the lesion is necessary to rule out melanosis secondary to malignant melanoma that manifests as a generalized blue-gray skin discoloration.”

“It is also an effective, if not necessary, agent to ensure melanosis or black spot does not occur on raw unpeeled shrimp.”

“In chronic cases the eventual effects are anaemia, melanosis, enlargement of the spleen and liver, and general cachexia.”

“This species has shown a limited ability to change colour due to changes in the distribution of black pigment in melanophore cells.”

“The smaller frogs were recently metamorphosed as evidenced by the melanophore deposits above the vent.”

“That pattern of morphological convergence includes larger bills, reduced rust coloration in plumage, and increased melanism or dark coloration.”

“The work of Burtt and colleagues provides a nice complement to recent work on the genetic basis of melanism in birds.”

“However, melanism and amelanism are known to occur in many species of natricine snakes.”

“Melanotan works by boosting melanin, the skin pigment that makes us brown and protects us against skin cancer.”

“One theory focuses on the fact that people with red hair have a different type of melanin than people with dark hair.”

“A few species of hummingbirds and European Starling are known to produce UV hues with coherently scattering melanin arrays in feather barbules.”

“Catecholamines are required for proper melanization and sclerotization of the Drosophila cuticle.”

“The ITAo determines the skin's melanization level and skin colour tone and thereby the skin's sensitivity to sunlight.”

“The degree of natural melanization depends upon relative concentrations of copper and of the copper-containing enzyme tyrosinase.”

“The copper-containing enzyme tyrosinase catalyzes the rate-limiting step in melanogenesis.”

“In the absence of MiTF, melanogenesis may be influenced and compensated by TFE3 gene fusions.”

“A number of genes controlling melanogenesis were found to show differential expression between the two types of feather bulbs.”

“These phenotypic classes are discussed below, with reference to previously identified zebrafish melanocyte mutants.”

“It is characterized by areas of melanocyte proliferation, and the hyper pigmentation of the epidermal basal cell layer in a linear fashion.”

“Coat colour, an important consideration for many owners, is easily dealt with by picking the right pattern of melanocyte cells in the skin.”

“Patients exhibit subnormal eye and skin pigmentation due to aberrant melanosome development.”

“However, there is little evidence to show whether melanocytes in homeothermal vertebrates respond to visible light or not.”

“Moles are usually harmless collections of pigmented cells called melanocytes on your skin.”

“One gene encodes a protein called agouti, which normally signals skin cells called melanocytes to produce a reddish-yellow pigment.”

“These patients are also at risk for second cancers, including bone, brain, leukemia and lymphoma, melanomas, and soft tissue sarcomas.”

“The risk for developing metastatic lesions from primary cutaneous melanomas increases with tumor thickness.”

“The authors also used flow cytometry to characterize melanomas of varying invasiveness.”

“One of the interesting properties of melanins is their ability to sequester metal ions.”

“Several studies since have claimed to show that melanins in the condensed solid state are indeed semiconductors.”

“There are two different melanins found in human hair, eumelanin and pheomelanin.”
