Long-term follow-up of leucoderma patients treated with transplants of autologous cultured melanocytes, ultrathin epidermal sheets and basal cell layer suspension.

- Abstract
In vitiligo and piebaldism the lack of melanin in the epidermis is due to the fact that melanocytes are missing. The patients suffer psychologically and the white areas have lost the part of the skin barrier protection normally provided by the melanocytes. Medical treatments are ineffective in many of the patients, and surgical methods have therefore been developed.
