Translational Research in Vitiligo

Erica L. Katz et al.

Summary: Vitiligo is a skin disease characterized by white spots, and significant progress has been made in understanding its pathogenesis over the past 30 years through perseverance, collaboration, and open-minded discussion. Researchers have explored various possible mechanisms through innervation, microvascular anomalies, oxidative stress, defects in melanocyte adhesion, autoimmunity, somatic mosaicism, and genetics, with animal models and improved patient sample collection methods playing important roles in translational studies.
