Losing Color – Keratinocytes Drive Autoimmunity in Vitiligo through CXCL10 "We sought to identify immune cytokine pathways that drive vitiligo to develop new, targeted treatments. We recently discovered that CXCL10, an IFNγ-induced chemokine, is expressed in human vitiligo skin and serum, and is required for both the progression and maintenance of vitiligo in our mouse model. New data reveal that keratinocytes and Langerhans cells are the major producers of CXCL10 during vitiligo, but have opposing contributions to disease progression.”

The Asian Society for Pigment Cell Research (ASPCR) will be organising the XXII IPCC from 4 to 7 September 2014 in Singapore. The conference will showcase the leading advances in basic and translational research in pigment cell biology and melanoma, and also address the burden of pigmentary disorders across Asia. - See more at: http://www.ipcc2014.org/about_ipcc.html#sthash.IhV4uVcn.dpuf
