300-330 / 1000+ resultsresearch 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 Cyclic Nucleotides and the Mediation of Melatonin-induced Inhibition of Melanogenesis in Mammals
Melatonin stops melanin production after tyrosinase action, with cyclic GMP mimicking this effect.
research CONGENITAL ATRICHIA.*
Congenital atrichia is a rare condition where children are born without hair, and treatment is often ineffective.
research Eyebrow Pilomatrixoma Presenting With Localized Alopecia and Skin Hypopigmentation
A pilomatrixoma in the eyebrow can cause hair loss and skin lightening.

Naked-mouse hair lacks certain proteins and has less soluble fibril.
research El currículum educativo garantiza el deporte como derecho a la educación
Melanocyte stem cells can become melanoma, resembling human melanoma.
research Towards a “free radical theory of graying”: melanocyte apoptosis in the aging human hair follicle is an indicator of oxidative stress induced tissue damage
Oxidative stress causes hair to gray by damaging and killing pigment cells.
research De novo mutation in the mitochondrial tRNALeu(UUR) gene (A3243G) with rapid segregation resulting in MELAS in the offspring
A new mutation in the mitochondrial DNA was found in a boy with MELAS, even though his family didn't show typical signs.
research Prenatal diagnosis of a fetus harboring an intermediate load of the A3243G mtDNA mutation in a maternal carrier diagnosed with MELAS syndrome
Prenatal genetic diagnosis may not predict MELAS syndrome severity in offspring.
research The potential impact of melanosomal pH and metabolism on melanoma
Melanin may help melanoma cells grow by aiding their metabolism.

Dysplastic nevi have unique gene expressions, making them distinct from common melanocytic nevi.
research The Peripheral Clock Regulates Human Pigmentation
Certain genes control the color of human hair by affecting pigment production.
research The antimycotic agent clotrimazole inhibits melanogenesis by accelerating ERK and PI3K-/Akt-mediated tyrosinase degradation
Clotrimazole, an antifungal cream, may safely reduce skin pigmentation by breaking down the enzyme needed for making melanin.
