Basement Membrane Remodeling Drives Melanocyte Dedifferentiation in Vitiligo Skin Lesions

Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system attacks and destroys melanocytes, the cells that produce the skin pigment melanin. Once the melanocytes are gone, the skin turns white, leading to the characteristic skin patches of the disease.
