Melasma is a complex multifactorial disorder whose pathogenesis is not well understood. In addition to increased pigmentation, increased vascularity associated with pigmentation is present. A variety of topical treatments targeting pigmentation are available with temporary improvement of mainly the epidermal components of melasma. Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a broadband light source that can ...

Abnormal pigmentation of Senegalese sole has been described as one problem facing the full exploitation of its commercial production. To improve our understanding of flatfish pigmentation of this commercially important species we have evaluated eleven genes related to two different processes of pigmentation: melanophore differentiation, and melanin production. The temporal distribution of gene ...

Change in color of oral mucosa reflects the underlying health status, which is either local or systemic. This color change is due to pigmentation, which may be physiological or pathological. Pigmentation in pathological conditions range from localized anomalies of to potentially life-threatening conditions. Since the dental professionals encounter a number of pigmented lesions in the oral cavit...

In this work, morphological and anatomical features of seeds 15 Alyssum taxa (A. caricum, A. davisianum, filiforme, haussknechtii, murale subsp. var. murale, simplex, sibiricum, desertorum, hirsutum hirsutum, minutum, strictum, strigosum strigosum, szowitsianum, dasycarpum linifolium linifolium) from Turkey were examined with the cluster analysis, systematic importance these characteristics was...

In Siberia, the bluegrass genus (Poa) comprises 43 species and 61 subspecies in 12 sections. Diverse modes of speciation, including polyploidy and hybridization, have led to reticulate evolution and adaptive radiation. Cladistic methods that ignore hybridization and reticulate evolution may not be appropriate for morphological data. The number of morphological characters suitable for bluegrass ...

Pigmentation, which is primarily determined by the amount, the type, and the distribution of melanin, shows a remarkable diversity in human populations, and in this sense, it is an atypical trait. Numerous genetic studies have indicated that the average proportion of genetic variation due to differences among major continental groups is just 10-15% of the total genetic variation. In contrast, s...

Reticulate acropigmentation of Kitamura (RAK) and Dowling-Degos Disease (DDD) are rare genodermatosis inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with variable penetrance. They are part of a spectrum of diseases with hyperpigmented macules coalescing in a reticular pattern, facial and palmoplantar pits, breaks in dermatoglyphics, comedo-like lesions and epidermoid cysts, and a unique histological ...
