Human oral mucosal melanocytes: a review

A W Barrett et al. J Oral Pathol Med. 1994 Mar.

Abstract

Despite the complex role of melanocytes in skin physiology, the function of oral mucosal melanocytes has attracted little research interest and remains largely unclear. This article reviews what is known about oral mucosal melanocytes and identifies areas of research that may shed further light on their role in oral biology.
