About The Cover

Online Cover This week features a Research Article that describes a mechanism of rapidly regulating melanin production and skin pigmentation that does not require changes in gene expression or new protein synthesis. The image shows individuals with varying levels of skin pigmentation. [Image: Image Source/Alamy Stock Photo]
