Abstract
By using autoradiography and a technique of repeated 3H-thymidine injections, it was found that there is a normal turnover of epidermal melanocytes in C57BL mice, and that the numerical increase in the population of active melanocytes following repeated UV irradiation is essentially the result of cell division.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
