A comparative study of efficacy of cultured versus non cultured melanocyte transfer in the management of stable vitiligo

Background Replenishing melanocytes by autologous melanocytes selectively in vitiliginous macules is a novel and promising treatment. With expertise in culturing autologous melanocytes, it has now become possible to treat larger recipient areas with smaller skin samples. To determine the relative efficacy of cultured versus non cultured melanocyte transfer in the management of stable vitiligo.
