"By understanding what regulates melanin, we can help protect lighter-skinned people from melanoma, or skin cancer," Vivek Bajpai, the lead research author, said. "By targeting these new melanin genes, we could also develop melanin-modifying drugs for vitiligo and other pigmentation diseases," he added. The researchers found 169 functionally diverse genes that impacted melanin production. Of those, 135 were not previously associated with pigmentation.

Bajpai developed a novel method to detect and quantify the melanin-producing activity of melanocytes.

The skin, hair and eye color of more than eight billion humans is determined by the light-absorbing pigment known as melanin.
