The panorama of the entire procedure in vitiligo (the consecutive occurrences of oxidative stress, damaged melanocytes, autoantigens, autoimmunity and melanocyte destruction) is specifically displayed based on published studies
The comprehensive causes of the overproduction of reactive oxygen species are summarized.
The damage to melanocytes due to oxidative stress and the production of subsequent autoantigens is illuminated in detail.
The specific mechanisms of how autoantigens trigger autoimmunity in vitiligo is demonstrated.
