MELANOSOMES

Subject	Topic	Quote
Health		UVR also increases the transfer of melanosomes from melanocytes to keratinocytes. (references)
		It is accompanied by an increase in the number of DOPA-positive melanocytes, an increase in the number and melanization of melanosomes, and an increase in dendricity of melanocytes. (references)
		Two other cells of the epidermis are also affected by UVR. The melanocyte, with its melanin pigment-containing melanosomes, is the primary cell involved in photoprotection of the skin. In sun-damaged epidermis, these cells enlarge, increase in number, and migrate to higher levels of the epidermis. (references)
