research Melanocytes and Vitiligo (and Hair Graying)
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
research Hormonal regulation of hair follicles exhibits a biological paradox
Androgens can both stimulate and cause hair loss, and understanding their effects is key to treating hair disorders.
research Skin melanocytes: biology and development
The paper concludes that understanding melanocyte development can help in insights into skin diseases and melanoma diversity.
research Melanogenesis is coupled to murine anagen: Toward new concepts for the role of melanocytes and the regulation of melanogenesis in hair growth
Hair color production in mice is closely linked to the hair growth phase and may also influence hair growth itself.
research Acne: Hormonal concepts and therapy
Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.
research Prolactin and the Skin: A Dermatological Perspective on an Ancient Pleiotropic Peptide Hormone
Prolactin affects hair growth and skin conditions, and could be a target for new skin disease treatments.
research Direct conversion of mouse and human fibroblasts to functional melanocytes by defined factors
Fibroblasts can be turned into melanocytes for potential skin treatments.
research Hormone therapy in acne
Hormonal treatment is effective for women with acne not helped by usual treatments, especially if they have hormonal imbalances.
research The Effect of Parathyroid Hormones on Hair Follicle Physiology: Implications for Treatment of Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Parathyroid hormones are important for hair growth, but their use in treating hair loss from chemotherapy is still uncertain.
research Transplantation of melanocyte stem cells in vitiliginous skin
Transplanting melanocyte stem cells from hair follicles can effectively treat vitiligo.
research Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH): a new player in human hair‐growth control
TRH stimulates human hair growth and extends the hair growth phase.
research Assessing Auditory and Cochlear Function in Alopecia Areata Patients: Exploring the Link to Cochlear Melanocyte Damage
Alopecia areata may be linked to hearing problems, so patients should monitor their hearing.
research The role of nuclear hormone receptors in cutaneous wound repair
Nuclear hormone receptors play a significant role in skin wound healing and could lead to better treatment methods.
research Associations between genetically predicted sex and growth hormones and facial aging in the UK Biobank: a two−sample Mendelian randomization study
Regulating certain sex hormones may help delay facial aging.
research The silver locus product (Silv/gp100/Pmel17) as a new tool for the analysis of melanosome transfer in human melanocyte–keratinocyte co‐culture
The new assay can track and measure melanosome transfer between skin cells, confirming filopodia's role in this process.
research Wnt10b Promotes Differentiation of Mouse Hair Follicle Melanocytes
Wnt10b helps hair follicle cells mature and produce pigment.
research Hormonal therapies for acne
Hormonal treatments can improve acne, but they come with potential side effects and risks.
research Hormonal regulation in male androgenetic alopecia—Sex hormones and beyond: Evidence from recent genetic studies
Hormones and genes affect hair growth and male baldness.
research Heterogeneity of neural crest-derived melanocytes
Melanocytes are diverse cells important for pigmentation and skin health, influenced by genetics and environment.
research Optimization of the method for the culture of melanocyte precursors from hair follicles and their activation by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3
1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 helps melanocyte precursors from hair follicles grow and produce melanin, aiding vitiligo treatment understanding.
research Synergistic effect of rice bran extract and extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields on dermal papilla/melanocytes in melanogenesis
Rice bran extract and low-frequency electromagnetic fields together may help treat vitiligo and white hair.
research Biology of melanocytes in mammals
Melanocytes are important for skin and hair color and protect the skin from UV damage.
research Melanocyte dysfunctions: future and promise of stem cells
Melanocyte stem cells hold promise for skin regeneration and treating pigmentation issues.
research In vitro Differentiation of Melanocyte Stem Cells Derived from Vitiligo Patients into Functional Melanocytes
Melanocyte stem cells from non-affected skin in vitiligo patients can become functional melanocytes for potential therapy.
research Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone (TRH) Promotes Wound Re-Epithelialisation in Frog and Human Skin
Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone helps heal wounds in frog and human skin.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
research Melanocytes: The new Black
Melanocytes are crucial for skin pigmentation and can affect conditions like melanoma, vitiligo, and albinism, as well as hair color and hearing.
research Stingless bee propolis promotes hair follicle regeneration and melanocyte function in chemotherapy-induced alopecia mouse model
Stingless bee propolis may help regenerate hair follicles and improve pigment function in chemotherapy-induced hair loss.
research Hormonal Treatment for Skin Androgen-Related Disorders
Hormonal treatments can help with hair loss, acne, and excess hair growth, but it takes 3-6 months to see results and patients should know the possible side effects.
