Researchers develop technique for visualizing melanocytes in 3D
Researchers have developed a technique that allows the 3D visualization of every cell containing melanin in whole zebrafish. Using X-ray imaging, the researchers were able to obtain quantitative measurements and map the location of each melanocyte.
New research suggests sunlight exposure guidelines may need revisions
Solar exposure guidelines for recommended vitamin D synthesis may need to be revised, according to a new study. The guidelines were determined more than 30 years ago and the accuracy of the risk and benefit calculations for sun exposure have been questioned.
