XI International Pigment Cell Conference

Pheomelanin is synthesized within melanocytes of hair follicles in mice of appropriate Agouti (a)or Extension (e)locus genic constitution. Alleles at the a-locus program pheomelanogenesis by altering the internal environment of hair follicles whereas alleles at the e locus do so by direct action through the genome of the melanocyte. For example, although transplanted recessive yellow (ele) mela...

XI International Pigment Cell Conference

Melasma is an acquired dark-brown to ashen-gray hypermelanosis with mottled patterns and is found in the exposed areas (forehead, malar eminences, upper lip, chin, neck, etc.). Although melasma is believed to be associated with pregnancy, including several other factors such as genetic, racial, endocrine, and nutritional, exposure to sunlight appears to be one of the primary causes of its exace...

The XI AIDS conference and HIV-1 lymphopathy.

The random reverse transcription of HIV-1 RNA into the genes of large dividing lymphocytes and transport of integrated proviral DNA within and between persons via migratory small cytoplasm depleted lymphocytes derived therefrom causes deterioration of the entire lymphopoietic system. Secondary results are progressive failure in homeostasis, loss of sensitivity to potentially therapeutic drugs, ...
