Research
90-120 / 1000+ resultsresearch Activity evaluation of epidermo-melanin unit and dermal damage in melasma
Melasma results from changes in the skin's pigment and structure, not just pigment cell growth.
research Clinical Case Notes. Malignant melanoma in eviscerated eyeball
Finasteride, often used for hair loss, can potentially cause cataracts.
research Somatic mutations distinguish melanocyte subpopulations in human skin
Hair follicles protect melanocytes from sun damage, helping them replenish skin.
research Melanocyte Pygmentation – Friend or Foe on the Route to Melanoma
Darker skin provides more protection against UV damage and cancer.
research Atualização em Coriorretinopatia Serosa Central
CSC is linked to mineralocorticoid receptor damage, stress, and steroid use, with treatments including drugs and laser therapies to prevent eye damage.
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 Complications and Limitations of Melanocyte Transplantation
Melanocyte transplantation can safely restore skin color, especially in stable vitiligo, but must be chosen carefully based on the disease phase.
research 457 Impact of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone on mitochondrial function in human dermal fibroblasts
Alpha-MSH affects mitochondrial function, and MC1R mutations may increase skin aging.
research Viewpoint 3
Oxidative stress plays a significant role in vitiligo, and both skin and non-skin cells may be involved.
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 Bilateral conjunctival lesions in Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome
Intralesional cidofovir may be a viable treatment for conjunctival lesions in Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome without systemic toxicity.
research The melanocyte photosensory system in the human skin
Human skin's melanocytes respond to light by changing shape, producing pigments and hormones, which may affect sleep patterns.
research Clinical Case Notes. Retinoblastoma, microphthalmia and the chromosome 13q deletion syndrome
The document concludes that careful diagnosis is crucial for chromosome 13q deletion syndrome, tamoxifen can cause reversible eye damage, finasteride may be linked to cataracts, and OCT is useful for diagnosing macular diseases.
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 Update on Melasma—Part I: Pathogenesis
Melasma's causes include genetics, sun exposure, hormones, and oxidative stress, and understanding these can help create better treatments.
research Atypical bilateral hyperpigmented macules on the lower legs possibly due to cyclophosphamide.
Cyclophosphamide likely causes skin darkening by affecting hair follicles.
research Perifollicular Melanocyte Regeneration in Bullous Pemphigoid
Melanocytes can regenerate around hair follicles in bullous pemphigoid, especially in patients with darker skin.
research Post-tyrosinase Inhibition of Melanogenesis by Melatonin in Hair Follicles in Vitro
research Histopathologic Findings of Cutaneous Hyperpigmentation in Addison Disease and Immunostain of the Melanocytic Population
The study found increased skin pigmentation and variable melanocyte density in a patient with Addison's disease.
research Melanocytes: A possible autoimmune target in alopecia areata
Melanocytes might be targeted by the immune system in people with alopecia areata, but more research is needed.
research Spatiotemporal Labeling of Melanocytes in Mice
The research showed how melanocytes develop, move, and respond to UV light, and their stem cells' role in hair color and skin cancer risk.
research Bilateral Eyelash Poliosis with Raccoon Erythema and Hypopigmentation-Contact Follicular Leukoderma
Topical eyedrops may cause eyelash whitening and skin lightening around the eyes.
research A woman with headaches and blurred vision
The woman was diagnosed with Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada disease and successfully treated with medication, restoring her vision and stopping headaches.
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 1200 The biology of melanocytes
Melanocytes are cells that make skin and hair color and help protect skin from sun damage.
research Splenic melanosis during normal murine C57BL/6 hair cycle and after chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy reduces splenic melanin in mice.
research Biology of melanocytes in mammals
Melanocytes are important for skin and hair color and protect the skin from UV damage.
research Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell–Derived Exosomes Preserve Melanocyte Stem Cell Integrity Under Acute Neurogenic Oxidative Stress via Activation of the Nrf2– ARE Pathway in C57BL / 6J Mice
Exosomes from umbilical cord stem cells help protect hair color and health under stress.
research CLINICAL PEARLS
The document discusses challenges in eye care, including treating melanoma before macular hole repair, bloody tears resolved by blood pressure control, eyelash regrowth in hair-pulling disorder with medication, a non-invasive method to detect eyelash mites, and the psychological factors affecting contact lens comfort.
