Treatment of melanised epidermis with alpha - melanocyte stimulating hormone (αMSH), a physiological agent that
controls skin pigmentation, activated the production of melanin in the tissue.

A new method for
controlling pigmentation in fabricated human
skin has been developed by researchers from A * STAR's Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SIMTech) and the Singapore Centre for 3D Printing (SC3DP) at Nanyang Technological University.
In their paper, publishing today in Biofabrication, the team show how they utilise 3D bioprinting to
control the distribution of melanin - producing
skin cells (melanocytes) on a biomimetic tissue substrate, to produce human - like
skin pigmentation.
In addition to affecting coat colors, genes also
control pigmentation of the total body including the eyes and
skin as well as coat color.
