Back to the Future: Achieving Health Equity Through Health Informatics and Digital Health (2019, background): “Although there has been scant media attention surrounding this issue, it is well documented in the scientific literature that the inherent optical sensors or green lights of these devices are readily absorbed by melanin (skin pigment), presenting a problematic challenge to accurate monitoring of hea”
Skin melanocytes: biology and development (2013, background): “Melanin has numerous properties which are beneficial to the body: UV light absorption and scattering, free radical scavenging, coupled oxidation-reduction reactions and ion storage [23, 38, 39].”
Wound Healing: A Cellular Perspective. (2019, background): “Partial thickness and deep full thickness injuries, especially those resulting from burns, leave the skin hyper- or hypopigmented, due to changes in melanocyte proliferation and activation (71) Melanocytes are dendritic, neural crest-derived cells that produce melanin, a biopolymer that protects the”
