• Pigment cell development and biology: research on the development, differentiation, and function of pigment cells, including melanocytes, retinal pigment epithelium, and other pigment-producing cells, and the regulation of pigmentation.色素细胞发育与生物学： 关于色素细胞（包括黑素细胞、视网膜色素上皮与其他产色素细胞）发育、分化与功能以及色素沉着调节的研究。
• Cellular and molecular biology: studies on the cell and molecular biology of pigment cells, including signaling pathways, gene regulation, transcriptional control, melanin synthesis and processing, and the interaction of pigment cells with their surrounding tissues.细胞与分子生物学： 关于色素细胞细胞与分子生物学的研究，涵盖信号通路、基因调控、转录控制、黑素合成与加工以及色素细胞与周围组织的相互作用等。
• Genetics of pigmentation: work on the genetics of normal pigmentation variation, albinism and other pigmentary disorders, pigment cell-related developmental syndromes, and the genetic basis of skin, hair, and eye color.色素沉着遗传学： 关于正常色素沉着变异遗传学、白化病及其他色素紊乱、色素细胞相关发育综合征以及皮肤、毛发与眼睛颜色遗传基础的研究。
• Melanoma and pigment cell disease: research on the causes and progression of melanoma, including the processes of metastasis and invasion, proliferation, senescence, apoptosis, gene regulation, and the development of therapeutic interventions for melanoma and other pigment cell diseases.黑色素瘤与色素细胞疾病： 关于黑色素瘤病因与进展的研究，涵盖转移与侵袭、增殖、衰老、凋亡、基因调控过程以及黑色素瘤及其他色素细胞疾病治疗干预的开发等。
• Article types: original research articles, reviews, short communications, and spotlights, with an emphasis on work that uses the melanocyte system to answer questions of general biological relevance or advances understanding of melanoma.栏目设置： 接受原创研究论文、综述、短讯与聚焦文章，强调利用黑素细胞系统回答具有广泛生物学意义问题或推进黑色素瘤理解的工作。

History

• Founding: the journal traces its origins to 1988, when it was founded as Pigment Cell Research by the European Society for Pigment Cell Research, later obtaining its current title to reflect its growing emphasis on melanoma research.创刊： 该刊历史可追溯至 1988 年，由欧洲色素细胞研究学会以《色素细胞研究》之名创刊，后改用现名以反映对黑色素瘤研究日益增长的重视。
• IFPCS official journal: the journal is the official journal of the International Federation of Pigment Cell Societies, serving as a leading venue for research on pigment cells and melanoma.IFPCS 官方期刊： 该刊是国际色素细胞学会联合会官方期刊，是色素细胞与黑色素瘤研究的重要平台。
• Wiley publication: the journal is published by Wiley and has grown to become the leading journal dedicated to pigment cell biology and melanoma research.Wiley 出版： 该刊由威利出版，已发展为专注于色素细胞生物学与黑色素瘤研究的权威期刊。

Editors

The journal is led by an editor-in-chief supported by associate editors and an editorial board:该刊由主编领导，副编辑与编委会协助工作：

• Editor-in-chief: I. Caroline Le Poole, Professor of Dermatology and Microbiology and Immunology at Northwestern University, whose research focuses on the immunology of vitiligo and melanoma, the biology of melanocytes, and the development of immunotherapies for melanoma.主编： 卡罗琳·勒普尔（I. Caroline Le Poole），西北大学皮肤病学与微生物学免疫学教授，研究方向为白癜风与黑色素瘤免疫学、黑素细胞生物学以及黑色素瘤免疫疗法的开发。
• Associate editors: associate editors cover the major areas within the journal's scope, from pigment cell development to melanoma biology and genetics.副编辑团队： 副编辑覆盖刊物范围内从色素细胞发育到黑色素瘤生物学与遗传学的主要领域。
• Review model: manuscripts undergo single-blind peer review by external experts, with final decisions made by the editor-in-chief based on scientific rigor, novelty, and relevance to pigment cell and melanoma research.评审模式： 稿件由外部专家进行单盲同行评审，主编基于科学严谨性、新颖性与对色素细胞和黑色素瘤研究的相关性做出最终决定。
