Cutaneous pigmentation in health and disease: novel and well-established players

Abstract

Cutaneous pigment formation and aberration in disease are addressed. Dynoodt et al. (this issue) present data on a specific micro RNA that downregulates proteins involved in melanogenesis and melanosome movement. Kim et al. (this issue) present data showing that Wnt signaling is involved in the pathogenesis of melasma. Both articles enhance our understanding of cutaneous pigmentation and point to targets in the development of novel therapeutic modalities.
