"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.
