• Genetic determinants of hair, eye and skin pigmentation in Europeans (2007, background): “, leading to the generation of melanosomes that contain red-yellow pheomelanin rather than brown-black eumelani”
• The molecular anatomy of mouse skin during hair growth and rest (2019, background): “Among neural-crest derived cells, the Schwann cells (SC), which were identified by Mbp and Mpz expression, showed no hair cycle enrichment, whereas the melanocytes were nearly exclusively found in anagen skin, as expected (Lin & Fisher, 2007) (Figures 1D and S7K).”
• Signaling Pathways in Melanogenesis (2016, background): “Each melanocyte in the skin is surrounded by approximately 36 keratinocytes [12,13], to which it transfers its melanosomes [13,14].”
