Notably, the biological processes and pathways, including Mitf, Ednrb, c-Kit, and Notch, that are characteristic of melanocyte regeneration have also been closely associated with melanoma (White and Zon, 2008; Jain et al., 2020; Belote et al., 2021; Steeb et al., 2021; Gelmi et al., 2022; Mikheil et al., 2023). Here, MITF is linked to melanoma.
