Common generalized vitiligo is an acquired depigmenting disorder characterized by a
chronic and progressive loss of melanocytes from the epidermis and follicular reservoir …

The aetiopathogenic mechanisms of vitiligo are still poorly understood, and this has held
back progress in diagnosis and treatment. Up until now, treatment guidelines have existed at …

Reconstructing functional skin after a wound remains a challenge due to the complexity of
healing. In this regard, biocompatible nanoparticles (NPs) carrying and releasing bioactive …

Background: Achromic lesions on the trunk and the extremities often do not respond to
treatment and little improvement is obtained in cases of segmental vitiligo. Objective …

Summary During the 2011 International Pigment Cell Conference (IPCC), the Vitiligo
European Taskforce (VETF) convened a consensus conference on issues of global …

Background In vitiligo, melanocytes are gradually lost in depigmented macules of the skin.
The disappearance of melanocytes has, however, not been clearly observed and …

Previous studies defined a DNA element necessary for glucocorticoid repression of the pro‐
opiomelanocortin (POMC) gene. The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) binds this negative …

The pituitary gland has provided unique insight into molecular mechanisms and regulatory
factors controling both differentiation and gene transcription. We identified Tpit, a novel T …

The oxidation of Pd (111) leads to an incommensurate surface oxide, which was studied by
the use of scanning tunneling microscopy, surface x-ray diffraction, high resolution core level …

The pituitary gland contains six distinct hormone-producing cell types that arise sequentially
during organogenesis. The first cells to differentiate are those that express the pro …
