120-150 / 1000+ results research Frequent downregulation of DMBT1 and galectin‐3 in epithelial skin cancer
DMBT1 and galectin-3 may help suppress epithelial skin cancer.
research Hair and nail adverse events during treatment with targeted therapies for metastatic melanoma
Targeted therapies for advanced skin cancer often cause hair and nail problems, which need managing to avoid changing the treatment dose.
research Sulfur Containing Tyrosine Analogs Can Cause Selective Melanocytotoxicity Involving Tyrosinase-Mediated Apoptosis
research News in brief
Researchers discovered potential origins and new treatments for skin cancer, including biomarkers for melanoma and therapies that reduce tumor growth.
research Nestin is expressed in HMB‐45 negative melanoma cells in dermal parts of nodular melanoma
Nestin helps identify certain melanoma cells in nodular melanoma.
research A cross-sectional study of clinical, dermoscopic, histopathological, and molecular patterns of scalp melanoma in patients with or without androgenetic alopecia
Scalp melanoma is more common and easier to diagnose early in people with androgenetic alopecia due to sun damage.
research 1233 Exploring the role of melanocyte subpopulations in vitiligo
A specific group of early-stage melanocytes is reduced in vitiligo-affected skin, which may explain treatment resistance.
research BMP4 regulates differentiation of nestin-positive stem cells into melanocytes
BMP4 helps stem cells turn into pigment-producing cells, affecting hair color and growth.
research Human melanocyte development and melanoma dedifferentiation at single cell resolution
Human melanocytes have unique traits that affect melanoma development and prognosis.
research Somatic mutations distinguish melanocyte subpopulations in human skin
Hair follicles protect melanocytes from sun damage, helping them replenish skin.
research Melanocyte progenitor cells reside in human subcutaneous adipose tissue
Melanocyte progenitor cells are found in human fat tissue and can become mature melanocytes, which may help treat skin issues.
research A human serum‐enriched medium formulation supports high viability and marker expression in primary melanocyte cultures from the outer root sheath and epidermis
A human serum-enriched medium effectively supports melanocyte growth and activity without using animal-derived supplements.
research Platelet-derived growth factor regulates the proliferation and differentiation of human melanocytes in a differentiation-stage-specific manner
PDGF-BB helps young melanocytes grow but stops mature ones from growing, and it makes melanocytes more specialized.
research BJD Editor's Choice
Some Greek melanoma patients have gene mutations linked to increased cancer risk, a new color feature helps diagnose melanoma, the incidence of a skin condition in the Netherlands is rare, and a gene possibly affects male-pattern baldness.
research Exosomal miR-222-3p derived from dermal papilla cells inhibits melanogenesis in melanocytes by targeting SOX10 in rabbits
Exosomal miR-222-3p reduces melanin production in rabbits by targeting the SOX10 gene.
research Beyond the Epidermal-Melanin-Unit: The Human Scalp Anagen Hair Bulb Is Home to Multiple Melanocyte Subpopulations of Variable Melanogenic Capacity
The human scalp hair bulb contains different types of melanocytes with varying abilities to produce melanin.
research Multicentric parallel phase II trial of the polo-like kinase 1 inhibitor BI 2536 in patients with advanced head and neck cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, soft tissue sarcoma and melanoma. The first protocol of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Network Of Core Institutes (NOCI)
BI 2536 had limited effectiveness against several advanced cancers and caused significant side effects.
research Melanocyte Pygmentation – Friend or Foe on the Route to Melanoma
Darker skin provides more protection against UV damage and cancer.
research Melanotic pigmentation in excisional scar of melanoma patient who received BRAF and MEK inhibitors
Patients with melanoma who saw dermatologists and were from higher-income areas were more likely to have follow-up visits, which was linked to lower mortality.
research Keratinocyte Cytokine Networks Associated with Human Melanocytic Nevus Development
Keratinocyte cytokines and genetic variations influence the development of moles and skin pigmentation.
research Topobiology of Human Pigmentation: P-Cadherin Selectively Stimulates Hair Follicle Melanogenesis
P-cadherin is crucial for hair follicle pigmentation but not skin pigmentation.
research Critical Role of ATP-P2X7 Axis in UV-Induced Melanogenesis
ATP increases melanin production in skin after UV exposure, with the P2X7 receptor being crucial for this process.
research 571 Role of observation for excisionally biopsied moderately dysplastic nevi with positive histologic margins and risk of development of future melanoma
Watching, not removing, skin growths with moderate atypia and positive edges is okay; patients may get melanoma elsewhere, especially if they've had it before.
research Bullous mycosis fungoides with large cell transformation: a fatal outcome following brentuximab treatment
Combining hair transplantation with PRP is more effective for treating hair loss than hair transplantation alone.
research Repigmentation of leukoderma in a piebald patient associated with a novel c-KIT gene mutation, G592E, of the tyrosine kinase domain
