180-210 / 1000+ results research LB1031 Immune Cell-Mediated Amplification of Stem Cell Activation in Hairy Melanocytic Nevus via Osteopontin-CD44 Axis
Immune cells boost stem cell activity in hairy moles, causing more hair growth.
research Clinical Snippets
New findings suggest potential treatments for melanoma, hyperpigmentation, hair defects, and multiple sclerosis, and show skin microbiome changes don't cause atopic dermatitis.
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 Melatonin-induced inhibition of melanogenesis in hair follicles in vitro [proceedings].

Human melanocytes have unique traits that affect melanoma development and prognosis.
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.

αMSH may help regulate immune responses in hair follicles and its disruption could lead to hair loss.
research Protection against oxidative damage and anti-inflammatory effect of melatonin in scald rat
Melatonin reduced oxidative damage, inflammation, and protected hair cells in scalded rats.
research SPRY1 Deficiency in Keratinocytes Induces Follicular Melanocyte Stem Cell Migration to the Epidermis through p53/Stem Cell Factor/C-KIT Signaling
SPRY1 deficiency in skin cells causes stem cells to move to the skin surface, leading to increased pigmentation.
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 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 Melanogenesis Is Coupled to Murine Anagen: Toward New Concepts for the Role of Melanocytes and the Regulation of Melanogenesis in Hair Growth.
Hair color production is closely linked to the active growth phase of hair in mice and may also influence hair growth itself.
research Hair cell loss – cause or consequence of hearing loss?
Hair cell loss usually happens after hearing loss starts.
research Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling controls hair pigmentation by means of cross-talk with the melanocortin receptor-1 pathway
BMP signaling affects hair color by interacting with the MC-1R pathway.
research Mitochondrial deoxyguanosine kinase depletion induced ROS causes melanocyte stem cell exhaustion and hair greying
Lack of a certain enzyme causes hair to grey early by damaging stem cells, but an antioxidant can help prevent this.
research Koebnerization secondary to microblading
A woman developed vitiligo from repeated eyebrow microblading.
research 175 Understanding immune privilege in an inducible mouse model of primary cicatrcial alopecia
