Pamplona, Spain

- A new technique in cell therapy is effective in treating chronic, localized and stable forms of vitiligo, according to Basque Research.

Researchers say the procedure involves transplanting epidermal cells from a pigmented area to areas on the patient that are depigmented. The team says overall success was good, with 75 percent to 100 percent repigmentation achieved.
