| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The skin color of mammal was made by color from the pigment called melanin. Melanocyte was the cell that produces melanin. In the mouse, melanocytes didn’t migrate into the skin, but into hairs. C57BL/6 nude was the black and hairless mouse. At birth, the skin color of this mouse was white. As the body grows, it changed into black and decolorized with weeks. We researched the differentiation and migration of the melanocyte with this mouse. The melanocytes which were not able to migrate into hairs, maturated in the skin and became apoptic death. These immature melanocytes had migratory ability into other tissue.
