Citric acid promoted melanin synthesis in B16F10 mouse melanoma cells, but inhibited it in human epidermal melanocytes and HMV-II melanoma cells via the GSK3β/β-catenin signaling pathway

Melanin, a pigment synthesized by melanocytes in the skin, resists the damage caused by ultraviolet rays to cells.
