Human epidermal melanocytes are isolated from skin tissue. Melanocytes are primarily responsible for the production and maintenance of skin pigments. They originate from the neural crest and gradually migrate to the epidermis and hair follicles. Dysfunction of melanocytes can lead to a series of refractory pigmentary disorders, such as vitiligo and melasma.
