Frontiers in Pigment Cell and Melanoma Research
We identify emerging frontiers in clinical and basic research of melanocyte
biology and its associated biomedical disciplines. We describe challenges and
opportunities in clinical and basic research of normal and diseased melanocytes
that impact current approaches to research in melanoma and the dermatological
sciences. We focus on four themes: (1) clinical melanoma research, (2) basic
melanoma research, (3) clinical dermatology, and (4) basic pigment cell
research, with the goal of outlining current highlights, challenges, and
frontiers associated with pigmentation and melanocyte biology. Significantly,
this document encapsulates important advances in melanocyte and melanoma
research including emerging frontiers in melanoma immunotherapy, medical and
surgical oncology, dermatology, vitiligo, albinism, genomics and systems
biology, epidemiology, pigment biophysics and chemistry, and evolution
