Sensory Neurons in Human Skin Play Key Role in Pigmentation
A research group has found that sensory neurons play an important role in human skin pigmentation and physiology. Specifically, the neurons secrete a protein known as Repulsive Guidance Molecule B (RGMB), which stimulates melanocytes (the cells in skin that produce melanin, which is responsible for skin coloration). This study could lead to the development of new drugs to treat pigmentation disorders.
