melanin and skin pigmentation
This cluster of papers explores the genetics, regulation, and adaptive significance of melanin pigmentation in mammalian skin, including its role in UV damage protection, hormonal regulation, and conditions such as vitiligo. It covers a wide range of topics from the molecular mechanisms of melanogenesis to the evolutionary and adaptive aspects of skin coloration.
Papers listed on taxonomy pages are the top few works per node from the OpenAlex snapshot. That list is not exhaustive and is not an endorsement. The topic map and the journal registry remain separate: there is still no authoritative topic-to-venue or topic-to-organization edge. Search is a lexical lookup, not a claim that a venue publishes a topic.
