480-510 / 1000+ results research Niche work when you can get it: collagen XVII and the melanocyte stem cell
Collagen XVII is crucial for preventing hair and pigmentation loss by maintaining melanocyte stem cells.
research Hair development and Langerhans cell migration during human embryogenesis
Langerhans cells and melanocytes migrate to the skin and hair follicles during early human development.
research Melatonin and the hair follicle
Melatonin helps regulate hair growth and protects the hair follicle from stress.
research Circulating testosterone and feather-gene expression of receptors and metabolic enzymes in relation to melanin-based colouration in the barn owl
Barn owls with smaller black spots have higher testosterone levels, which might be due to genetic effects on hormone regulation rather than hormone effects on coloration.
research Essential Role for Integrin-Linked Kinase in Melanoblast Colonization of the Skin
Integrin-linked kinase is crucial for melanoblasts to properly colonize the skin.
research Repurposing functional human hair melanosomes as a sunscreen product
Human hair melanosomes can be used to create effective, eco-friendly sunscreen.
research The color of human hair
Hair color is determined by melanin types and gene activity.
research Follicular vitiligo: A rare clinical variant of a common entity
Follicular vitiligo causes hair to gray without skin color loss.
research Dermoscopy findings of alopecia areata in an African-American patient
Skin color may change how alopecia areata looks under a dermoscope.
research The chemokine SDF-1/CXCL12 regulates the migration of melanocyte progenitors in mouse hair follicles
SDF-1/CXCL12 and its receptor CXCR4 are crucial for melanocyte movement in mouse hair follicles.
research White Hair Follicles in Alopecia Areata.
White hair in alopecia areata may be linked to reduced Sox10 expression.
research Decision letter: Dynamics of nevus development implicate cell cooperation in the growth arrest of transformed melanocytes
Moles may stop growing due to cell cooperation, not just because of individual cell aging.
research Prevalence and distribution of melanocytic naevi on the scalp: a prospective study
Moles on the scalp are more common in people with more body moles and atypical moles, but not linked to balding.
research T-Cell Reconstitution after Thymus Xenotransplantation Induces Hair Depigmentation and Loss
T-cell reconstitution after thymus transplantation can cause hair whitening and loss.
research Merkel Cells in Hyperplastic and Neoplastic Lesions of the Skin
Merkel cell increase is specific to certain skin diseases, not general skin growth.
research Local Actions of Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone Regulate Hair Color
TRH in hair follicles can influence hair color by increasing melanin.
research Functional analysis of thymosin beta-4 using over-expressing transgenic mice
Melanoma cells lose their ability to form tumors when placed in a zebrafish embryo environment.
research Downregulation of nuclear factor-kappaB activation in human keratinocytes by melanogenesis inhibitors
Melanogenesis inhibitors like kojic acid and niacinamide can reduce inflammation and pigment production in skin cells.
research Characterization of the serotoninergic system in the C57BL/6 mouse skin
Mouse skin can produce and process serotonin, with variations depending on hair cycle, body location, and mouse strain.
research Author response: Crosstalk with keratinocytes causes GNAQ oncogene specificity in melanoma
Keratinocytes can reverse the effects of the GNAQ oncogene, inhibiting melanoma cell growth.
research Photochemical alterations in human hair. I. Artificial irradiation and investigations of hair proteins
Melanin in black hair protects it from sun damage better than light-brown hair.
research Loss of Dicer in Newborn Melanocytes Leads to Premature Hair Graying and Changes in Integrin Expression
Removing Dicer from pigment cells in newborn mice causes early hair graying and changes in cell migration molecules.
research Ultrastructural Resemblance of Basal Cell Epithelioma to Primary Epithelial Germ
Basal cell epithelioma resembles fetal hair follicles, not adult or fetal skin.
research B-Raf and C-Raf Are Required for Melanocyte Stem Cell Self-Maintenance
B-Raf and C-Raf are essential for maintaining melanocyte stem cells to prevent hair graying.
research On the etiology of vitiligo and gray hair
Melanocytes are destroyed by factors needed for melanin production, causing vitiligo and gray hair.
research Disorders of pigmentation in infants and children
Vitiligo causes white skin patches, often starts before age 20, and is linked to other health issues.
research Clinicopathologic Correlate of a Fresh Eyelid Pigment Implantation
The pigment in black eyeliner can spread in the skin and may cause permanent eyelash loss.
