Summary
Since abnormal keratinocyte (KC) proliferation and differentiation as well as defective E
cadherin expression were reported in vitiligo lesions, the investigators set to study the
potential efficacy of combining Retinoids, which are known to improve KC proliferation and
differentiation and increase the expression of adhesion molecules, with narrowband UVB in the
treatment of vitiligo.
