J Invest Dermatol
. 2024 Sep;
PMID: 39303907
In the skin, melanin is synthesized by melanocytes within melanosomes and transferred to keratinocytes. After being phagocytosed by keratinocytes, melanin polarizes to supranuclear caps that protect against the genotoxic effects...

. 2022 Apr;
23(6):331-345.
PMID: 35426185
In the skin epidermis, melanin is produced and stored within melanosomes in melanocytes, and then transferred to keratinocytes. Different models have been proposed to explain the melanin transfer mechanism, which...

PMID: 35343629
Since the discovery of lysosomes more than 70 years ago, much has been learned about the functions of these organelles. Lysosomes were regarded as exclusively degradative organelles, but more recent...

. 2018 Aug;
8(1):12998.
PMID: 30158654
Phagocytosis of invading microorganisms by professional phagocytic cells has a central role in innate immunity. However, several microorganisms developed strategies to subvert this process. Previously, we reported that bacteria and...
