Hair color production is closely linked to the active growth phase of hair in mice and may also influence hair growth itself.
research Biology of melanocytes in mammals
Melanocytes are important for skin and hair color and protect the skin from UV damage.
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 Melanocyte stem cells: a melanocyte reservoir in hair follicles for hair and skin pigmentation
Melanocyte stem cells in hair follicles are key for hair color and could help treat greying and pigment disorders.
research Direct conversion of mouse and human fibroblasts to functional melanocytes by defined factors
Fibroblasts can be turned into melanocytes for potential skin treatments.
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 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 Melanogenesis is coupled to murine anagen: Toward new concepts for the role of melanocytes and the regulation of melanogenesis in hair growth

research Melanocyte Chitosan/Gelatin Composite Fabrication with Human Outer Root Sheath-Derived Cells to Produce Pigment
The technique can isolate cells to help treat skin pigmentation issues.
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 Melanocytes and Vitiligo (and Hair Graying)
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
research Melanocyte dysfunctions: future and promise of stem cells
Melanocyte stem cells hold promise for skin regeneration and treating pigmentation issues.
research Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway activates melanocyte stem cells in vitro and in vivo
The Wnt/β-catenin pathway can activate melanocyte stem cells and may help regenerate hair follicles.
