research Epidemiology of skin cancer in the mature patient
Older adults have a high rate of skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma and melanoma, mainly due to UV exposure and age.
research Non-pigmentary actions of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone--lessons from the cutaneous melanocortin system.
Alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone helps manage skin inflammation and protect against UV damage.
research RAGE and Its Ligands in Melanoma
RAGE is a potential target for melanoma treatment, but its effectiveness is uncertain due to variable expression levels.
research Human Epidermal Neural Crest Stem Cells (hEPI-NCSC)—Characterization and Directed Differentiation into Osteocytes and Melanocytes
Human epidermal neural crest stem cells can become bone and skin pigment cells, making them useful for therapies.
research A Monoclonal Antibody Established from the Immunization of Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) Tissues Reacts to the Intercellular Space of BCC and Hair Follicles
The antibody created from BCC tissues reacts similarly to both BCC and hair follicles, suggesting BCC may come from hair follicle cells.
research From neural crest cells to melanocytes: cellular plasticity during development and beyond
Melanocyte development from neural crest cells is complex and influenced by many factors, and better understanding could help treat skin disorders.
research Adam10 haploinsufficiency causes freckle-like macules in Hairless mice
A mutation in the Adam10 gene causes freckle-like spots on Hairless mice.
research Extradermal melanin transfer? Lack of macroscopic spleen melanization in old C57BL/6 mice with de-synchronized hair cycle.
Old C57BL/6 mice with unsynchronized hair cycles show less melanin in their spleens.
research Metastasis of an Untreated Thin Melanoma in a Very Elderly Patient
Even a small melanoma can be deadly if not removed, regardless of the patient's age.
research Metastatic Melanoma of the Tongue: A Rare Case
An 86-year-old man had a rare tongue melanoma but refused treatment, showing the need for early cancer detection and treatment.
research 131 Mutational landscape of extramammary Paget disease
The document concludes that ERBB2 mutations are common in extramammary Paget disease and may respond to systemic treatments like cancer immunotherapy.
research Dermoscopy: distinguishing malignant tumors from benign
Dermoscopy greatly improves melanoma diagnosis and reduces unneeded surgeries.

Scientists developed a system to study human hair growth using skin cells, which could help understand hair development and improve skin substitutes for medical use.
research Perifollicular Melanocyte Regeneration in Bullous Pemphigoid
Melanocytes can regenerate around hair follicles in bullous pemphigoid, especially in patients with darker skin.
research BMI1 is required for melanocyte stem cell maintenance and hair pigmentation
BMI1 is essential for preventing hair greying and maintaining hair color.
research Skin Cancer: Mechanisms and Human Relevance
Skin cancer involves complex mechanisms, risk factors, and can be potentially prevented with strategies like dietary changes and certain compounds.
research The Simplest Protocol for Rapid and Long-Term Culture of Primary Epidermal Keratinocytes from Human and Mouse
A new method helps grow skin cells from humans and mice more easily and quickly.
research Hair follicle-derived melanocyte transplant as a promising treatment strategy for vitiligo
Hair follicle-derived melanocyte transplant could effectively treat vitiligo by restoring skin color.
research Repigmentation of leukoderma in a piebald patient associated with a novel c-KIT gene mutation, G592E, of the tyrosine kinase domain
A new gene mutation may allow some piebaldism patients to regain skin color in white patches.
research 576 Merkel cell carcinoma with fungi infection: A case report
Surgery and antifungal medication are effective for treating Merkel cell carcinoma with fungal infection.
research 414 A fitst-in-human study of BLZ-100 (tozuleristide) demonstrates tolerability and fluorescence contrast in skin cancer
