60 + years of Pigmentation research!!!!
08/26/07 at 18:22:12
 
Please, please, make this a sticky.  I understand that some of this information is outdated but this is an incredible find.  This is a paper written by Aaron B. Lerner who worked directly with Dr. Fitzpatrick and they were working on skin coloration, disorders, MSH, ATCH, melanocytes (which by the way they had a hand in creating the name of), Vitiligo. Tyrosine, melanotan (which he helped invent) and many more things that are constantly discussed on this board.
I had no idea that research on all this had begun clear back before and during World War II.
Any way, I implore everyone to read through this fascinating and informative paper.  It is written more down to earth so even us laymen can understand 98% of it.  And the history of it all, great pictures, information, well, please just read it, it is great!

Aaron Lerner has passed away, actually last month.  For those of you that don't know, Aaron was considered to be the discoverer of Melanin.  He loved his research in pigmentation and died doing what he loved, he will be missed.

Unfortunately it appears that they have killed the link to that paper and now it only points to where you can buy a book on the subject.

Hmmm, not sure what happened previously for other folks but when I follow sideways' link above (right now) I am able to download the PDF of this excellent document. Anyone still not getting access?

The above link redirects to:  
 
http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/119937994/abstract
 
for me and that definitely works (the PDF link).  
 
Maybe going directly to the redirected link works for you?
 
Alternatively this DOI link might work:  http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1600-0749.1999.tb00753.x

Yes, working now but also is hard to find on the page.  You need to look for the words, in (  ) that say, "Full text Download".   Very small single line.
