research Spontaneous hair hyperpigmentation in response to vitamin intake in pregnancy—A clue for homocystinuria
Taking vitamin B6 corrected a pregnant woman's metabolic disorder, which changed her hair color.
research 516 Dynein is involved in the movement, distribution, acidity, and transfer of melanosomes
Dynlt3 is important for melanosome transport and skin coloration.
research Melanocyte Subpopulation Turnover During the Human Hair Cycle: An Immunohistochemical Study
Melanocyte activity in hair follicles is linked to the hair growth cycle, being active in growth phases and inactive in rest phases.
research Finasteride inhibits melanogenesis through regulation of the adenylate cyclase in melanocytes and melanoma cells
Finasteride reduces melanin production, possibly treating hyperpigmentation and melanoma, but needs more safety research.
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 An approach to disorders of pigmentation
The document concludes that pigmentation disorders in animals involve complex interactions between melanocytes and keratinocytes.
research Melasma, a photoaging disorder
Melasma is now considered a skin aging disorder caused by sun exposure in people with a genetic tendency, which impacts treatment and prevention approaches.
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 Tyrosine kinase inhibition and grey hair
Imatinib can repigment grey hair, while SU11428 can cause temporary hair depigmentation.
research Tyrosinase inhibition due to interaction of homocyst(e)ine with copper: the mechanism for reversible hypopigmentation in homocystinuria due to cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency.
Lowering homocyst(e)ine levels can reverse skin and hair lightening by restoring enzyme activity needed for pigmentation.
research Field melanin mapping of the hairless scalp
The study found a specific pattern of uneven melanin distribution on balding scalps that could help understand skin diseases caused by light exposure.
research Red pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) peel extract mud mask formulation and tyrosinase-inhibition activity test
The mud mask with 22.5% kaolin and pomegranate peel extract worked best.
research Anti-graying effect of the extract of Pueraria thunbergiana via upregulation of cAMP/MITF-M signaling pathway
Pueraria thunbergiana extract may help prevent hair from turning gray.
research Drug-induced hair pigmentation: Clinical perspectives and updates
Certain drugs can change hair color, either lightening or darkening it.
research 275 Nonpigmented hair removal using photodynamic therapy
Photodynamic therapy can potentially remove nonpigmented hair by damaging hair follicles.
research Melanotrichoblastoma: A Histopathological Case Report of a Rare Pigmented Variant of Trichoblastoma
A rare pigmented skin tumor called melanotrichoblastoma was diagnosed in a 51-year-old woman.
research All-trans retinoic acid induced the differentiation of amelanotic melanocytes of human hair follicle
All-trans retinoic acid helps amelanotic melanocytes in hair follicles develop and produce pigment while reducing their growth.
research Lipid‐mediated signalling and melanocyte function
A sphingolipid from human placenta may help treat vitiligo by activating melanocyte stem cells.
research Quercetin stimulates melanogenesis in hair follicle melanocyte of the mouse.
Quercetin boosts melanin production in mouse hair follicles.
research Local Actions of Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone Regulate Hair Color
TRH in hair follicles can influence hair color by increasing melanin.
research LB1056 Phase 1b: Translational evaluation of VYN201, a pan-BD BET inhibitor, for the treatment of non-segmental vitiligo
VYN201 shows promise as a safe and effective treatment for non-segmental vitiligo.
research Dopa oxidase activity in the hair, skin and ocular melanocytes is increased in the presence of stressed fibroblasts
Stressed fibroblasts greatly increase melanin production in hair, skin, and eye cells, mainly due to a growth factor called bFGF.
research 1360 Regulation of bmp signalling in melanogenesis, pigment transfer and melanocyte migration
BMP signaling is important for skin color, affecting melanin production, pigment spread, and cell movement.
research Regenerative Hair Pigmentation via Skin Organoids: Adaptive Patterning Mediated by Collagen VI and Semaphorin 3C
Collagen VI and Semaphorin 3C are important for hair pigmentation and could help treat pigmentation disorders.
research Gene expression profiling of human keratinocytes exposed to the hair-dying agent, m-aminophenol
m-Aminophenol in hair dye can cause skin cell toxicity and stress responses.
research Supplementary Material for: Drug-Induced Melasma in Patients on 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors: A Case Report
Finasteride can cause melasma, especially in people with darker skin.
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.
