    Keywords : Medical sciences; leucoderma; leukoderma; vitiligo; piebaldism; melanocytes; pigmentation; cell culturing; serum-free; transplantation; surgery; autoimmune disease; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Dermatology and Venerology; dermatologi och venereologi;

    Abstract : Background: Vitiligo and piebaldism are disorders in which the affected skin lack epidermal melanocytes. Vitiligo is acquired and can clinically be subgrouped, but the aetiology is still not fully understood. The most common type, generalized vitiligo (vitiligo vulgaris) has autoimmune involvement and affects about 1. READ MORE

  4. 2. Alopecia and vitiligo in autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type I

    Author : Håkan Hedstrand; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type I (APS I) is a recessively inherited disease caused by mutations in a recently identified gene, AIRE, on human chromosome 21. APS I patients are affected by autoimmune destruction of multiple endocrine glands and other organs as well as ectodermal structures. READ MORE

  5. 3. Resident T cells in human skin : functional heterogeneity and clinical implications

    Author : Stanley Sing Hoi Cheuk; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The skin forms a critical barrier against the external environment and is therefore frequently challenged by infections and subjected to immune-mediated diseases as well as malignancies. The Tissue-Resident Memory T (TRM) cell is a subset of T cells that resides at sites of previous infection in the skin and other epithelial tissues. READ MORE

  6. 4. Molecular genetics and mechanisms of pigmentation and melanoma

    Author : Elisabeth Sundström; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Ever since man domesticated the first wild animals several thousand years ago, many species have been living in close relationship with humans, being objects for our requests and wishes about any kind of phenotypic traits. As a result, we have by selective breeding created a fascinating spectrum of phenotypes within most species we have domesticated. READ MORE

  7. 5. Resident T cells steer tissue responses in human skin

    Author : Borislav Ignatov; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The human skin constitutes a biological barrier against threats to the body from the surrounding environment. Tissue-resident memory cells (TRM) reside in the skin and provide local memory of previous encounters with microbes and pathogens, are poised to promptly eliminating infected cells and elicit tissue-wide defense state.
