in particular , we have found that i ) melanocytes proliferate in the same culture conditions that allow keratinocyte growth , ii ) during the culture the ratio between keratinocytes and melanocytes tends to remain constant , iii ) melanocytes organize into the basal layer of the cultured epithelium independently of the presence of dermis , develop dendritic arborizations with melanosome-containing processes and transfer melanosomes into keratinocyte cytoplasm .
