The Safety of Melasma Treatment in Vitiligo Patients: An International E‐Delphi Study
Vitiligo and melasma frequently coexist, creating a treatment dilemma, since agents effective for one condition can destabilize the other, and no consensus currently exists on safe management. We conducted a scoping literature review (th...

Construction of an EMT ‐Related Prognostic Model for Melanoma and Functional Validation of the EMT ‐Associated Gene BGN
Melanoma is a highly aggressive skin tumour that poses considerable challenges in treatment and prognostic assessment. Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a critical process in melanoma progression and contributes to tumour invasi...

Melanin as a Multifunctional Molecular System: Biosynthesis, Genetics, and Functional Roles in Livestock Species
Melanin is the primary pigment found in the skin, hair, wool and feathers of many vertebrates and plays a crucial role in determining the physical appearance and physiological performance of livestock species. Melanin functions in thermo...

Immune‐Excluded Mucosal Melanoma: Spatial Mechanisms of Checkpoint Resistance and Biomarker‐Guided Therapeutic Opportunities
Mucosal melanoma is a rare, aggressive melanoma subtype arising from melanocytes within mucosal surfaces of the head and neck, anorectal, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary tracts. Unlike ultraviolet‐driven cutaneous melanoma, mucosal m...

Non‐Canonical Function of ORC1 : Regulating Notch‐ VEGFR2 ‐Mediated Angiogenesis in Melanoma Progression
Melanoma is an aggressive skin cancer characterized by high metastatic potential and substantial genetic heterogeneity. Although genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) have identified numerous susceptibility loci, the functional roles of...

UVB ‐Induced Repigmentation in Vitiligo: Hair Follicle Melanocyte Stem Cell Migration and Its Molecular Mechanisms
Vitiligo is an acquired depigmentation disorder characterized by the loss of epidermal melanocytes and can markedly impair patients' quality of life. Because of its dual effects on immunosuppression and repigmentation, UVB phototherapy h...

Allele‐Specific GNAQ Q209 Mutations Reveal Context‐Dependent Oncogenic Programs in Uveal Melanoma
Uveal melanoma (UM) is driven by activating GNAQ/GNA11 mutations, predominantly at the hotspot Q209 residue. However, the functional impact of distinct GNAQ Q209 substitutions on downstream signaling and malignant progression remains unc...

Skin Pigmentation Associates With Reduced mtDNA Variant Burden in Photoexposed Skin
Melanin, particularly eumelanin, is a key determinant of cutaneous photoprotection, yet its influence on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) stability remains poorly understood. This study investigated whether pigmentation is associated with somat...

Diffuse Eruptive Spitz Nevus With Somatic TPM3 :: ALK Fusion Confirmed Across Anatomically Distinct Lesions
Eruptive disseminated Spitz nevus (EDSN) is an exceptionally rare condition characterized by widespread Spitz‐spectrum melanocytic lesions. We report a 21‐year‐old woman with an estimated 50,000–60,000 lesions involving the entire cutane...
