The color in our skin and hair is because of melanin which is produced by the melanocytes. But it has been recently shown that the behavior of melanocytes can be modified by manipulating keratinocytes previously thought to play no significant role in this function. The study has been conducted on bioengineered skin grafts in which the skin tone can be made to resemble the natural tone and color of the prospective recipients which helps in reducing the appearance of scarring.

It is hoped that such bioengineered skin grafts will lead to revolutionary changes in the cosmetic outcome of conditions which require skin grafting, like severe burns, scleroderma, epidermis bullosa, diabetes, and venous leg ulcers. Raymond Boissy the senior researcher also believes that the quality of life in pigmentary diseases like vitiligo and melasma may improve with this technique.

The most important conclusion in this research is that the conduct of melanocytes can be controlled by the keratinocytes. This is going to affect not only the medical management of pigmentary disorders but it would open the doors to new types of cosmetics based on understanding of how and why ’skin deep’ differences in appearance evolved over millions of years.

The study was conducted by the scientists from Tokyo Medical University and University of Cincinnati.
