摘要：

The CONTROVERSIES featured in the August 1998 issue of Exp Dermatol have discussed the controls of melanogenesis (Schallreuter et al., Exp Dermatol 7: 143-150, 1998). Now, we explore the biological functions of the endproduct of melanogenesis, the various melanin biopolymers. As delineated in the subsequent contributions, melanins are functionally much more complex and fascinating than their evident colour-awarding and UV-light-filtering properties suggest, and dermatologists and pigment biologists alike have yet to discover and define the full range of biologically relevant melanin functions in health and disease.
