In vitro proliferation of human epidermal melanocytes biopsied from multiple anatomical sites

Background Vitiligo is an acquired disease that involves low pigment variation in the skin. The use of cultured melanocytes for treatment of recalcitrant vitiligo has become a well‐established treatment modality. In vitro cultured melanocytes present an effective autologous transplantation treatment modality for vitiligo.
