research Functionally distinct melanocyte populations revealed by reconstitution of hair follicles in mice
Only skin melanocytes, not other types, can color hair in mice.
research Pigmented Epithelioid Melanocytoma (PEM)/Animal Type Melanoma (ATM): Quest for an Origin. Report of One Unusual Case Indicating Follicular Origin and Another Arising in an Intradermal Nevus
The conclusion is that Pigmented Epithelioid Melanocytoma can start from hair follicle stem cells or from a mole on the skin.
research Regeneration of Mouse Skin Melanocyte Stem Cells In Vivo and In Vitro
The research found ways to activate melanocyte stem cells for potential treatment of skin depigmentation conditions.
research Transplantation of melanocyte stem cells in vitiliginous skin
Transplanting melanocyte stem cells from hair follicles can effectively treat vitiligo.
research Comparison Treatment of Vitiligo by Co-culture of Melanocytes Derived from Hair Follicle with Adipose-Derived Stem Cells with and without NB-UVB
Treating vitiligo with stem cells and melanocytes from hair, along with UVB light, works better than without the light.
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 Role of Dermal Melanocytes in Cutaneous Pigmentation of Stasis Dermatitis
Melanin and melanocytes contribute to the brown pigmentation in stasis dermatitis.
research Melanocytes: The new Black
Melanocytes are crucial for skin pigmentation and can affect conditions like melanoma, vitiligo, and albinism, as well as hair color and hearing.
research Molecular Regulation of Melanocyte Senescence
The article concludes that while we understand a lot about how melanocytes age and how this can prevent cancer, there are still unanswered questions about certain pathways and genes involved.
research Keratinocytes regulate the function of melanocytes
Keratinocytes control how melanocytes work.
research Regulation of melanocyte stem cell behavior by the niche microenvironment
The environment around melanocyte stem cells is key for hair regeneration and color, with certain injuries affecting hair color and potential treatments for pigmentation disorders.

Rice bran extract and low-frequency electromagnetic fields together may help treat vitiligo and white hair.
research Biology of melanocytes in mammals
Melanocytes are important for skin and hair color and protect the skin from UV damage.
research Melanocytes from the Outer Root Sheath of Hair Follicles Cultivated on Collagen Membrane Improve their Melanotic Properties
Collagen membranes improve melanocyte growth for treating skin depigmentation.
research Therapeutic Potential of Patient iPSC-Derived iMelanocytes in Autologous Transplantation
Patient-derived melanocytes can potentially treat vitiligo by restoring skin pigmentation.
research Melanogenesis is coupled to murine anagen: Toward new concepts for the role of melanocytes and the regulation of melanogenesis in hair growth

research The Lysosomal Protease Cathepsin L Is an Important Regulator of Keratinocyte and Melanocyte Differentiation During Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Cycling
Cathepsin L is essential for normal hair growth and development.
research Stress-sensing in the human greying hair follicle: Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) depletion in hair bulb melanocytes in canities-prone scalp
Hair greying is linked to reduced ATM protein in hair cells, which protects against stress and damage.
research Immunohistopathological analysis of frizzled-4-positive immature melanocytes from hair follicles of patients with Rhododenol-induced leukoderma
Rhododendrol in skin-whitening products can cause skin depigmentation and immune reactions.
research Melanocyte dysfunctions: future and promise of stem cells
Melanocyte stem cells hold promise for skin regeneration and treating pigmentation issues.
