Androgenetic alopecia causes hair thinning due to increased androgen activity, treatable with minoxidil and finasteride.
research The ‘melanocyte-keratin’ mystery revisited: neither normal human epidermal nor hair follicle melanocytes express keratin 16 or keratin 6in situ
Human melanocytes in skin and hair follicles don't express keratin 16 or 6 naturally.
research Melanocytes from the outer root sheath of human hair and epidermal melanocytes display improved melanotic features in the niche provided by cGEL, oligomer-cross-linked gelatin-based hydrogel
cGEL hydrogel improves melanin production in skin cells, making it a promising option for skin treatments.
research 1272 p21Waf1/Cip1 is differentially expressed in epidermal versus follicular melanocytes and melanoma cells and is phenotypically regulated by UVB-mediated apoptosis
The protein p21 is more abundant in normal skin cells than in melanoma cells and may help protect against melanoma, with UVB light affecting its levels.
research Electron Microscope Studies of the Human Epidermis The Clear Cell of Masson (Dendritic Cell or Melanocyte)
A unique skin cell similar to hair bulb melanocytes was identified, with better preservation using permanganate fixation.
research A rare repigmentation pattern in a vitiligo patient: a clue to an epidermal stem-cell reservoir of melanocytes?
Repigmentation in vitiligo may come from melanocyte stem cells in the skin.
research A human serum‐enriched medium formulation supports high viability and marker expression in primary melanocyte cultures from the outer root sheath and epidermis
A human serum-enriched medium effectively supports melanocyte growth and activity without using animal-derived supplements.
research Repigmentation of Leukotrichia Due to Retrograde Migration of Melanocytes After Noncultured Epidermal Suspension Transplantation
The treatment improved hair color in most vitiligo patients without major side effects.
research Long-term follow-up of leucoderma patients treated with transplants of autologous cultured melanocytes, ultrathin epidermal sheets and basal cell layer suspension
Transplantation is effective for stable leucoderma but not for progressive, widespread vitiligo vulgaris.
research Human Epidermal Neural Crest Stem Cells (hEPI-NCSC)—Characterization and Directed Differentiation into Osteocytes and Melanocytes
Human epidermal neural crest stem cells can become bone and skin pigment cells, making them useful for therapies.
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 has different types of pigment cells in hair follicles with varying abilities to produce pigment.
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 Morphologic comparison of cultured human epidermis melanocytes,amelanotic melanocytes from hair follicles and mouse melanoma cells observed by atomic force microscope
Melanin granules can be expelled by exocytosis.
research Structure and function of melanocytes: microscopic morphology and cell biology of mouse melanocytes in the epidermis and hair follicle.
Mouse melanocyte structure and function are influenced by genetics, hormones, and environmental factors.
research A novel mouse model demonstrates that oncogenic melanocyte stem cells engender melanoma resembling human disease
Oncogenic melanocyte stem cells can develop into melanoma similar to human cases.
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 Skin melanocytes: biology and development
The paper concludes that understanding melanocyte development can help in insights into skin diseases and melanoma diversity.
research Hair melanocytes as neuro-endocrine sensors—Pigments for our imagination
Hair melanocytes help the skin respond to stress and regulate hair pigmentation.
research The TFIID subunit TAF4 regulates keratinocyte proliferation and has cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous tumour suppressor activity in mouse epidermis
TAF4 is important for skin cell growth and helps prevent skin cancer in mice.
research HGF/SF Increases Number of Skin Melanocytes but Does Not Alter Quality or Quantity of Follicular Melanogenesis
HGF/SF increases skin melanocytes but doesn't change melanin type or amount.
research Human melanocyte development and melanoma dedifferentiation at single cell resolution
Human melanocytes have unique traits that affect melanoma development and prognosis.
research Culture of amelanotic melanocytes derived from human fetal hair follicles
Melanocytes from human fetal hair follicles were successfully cultured, showing potential for hair disease research and clinical use.
research Transplantation of melanocyte stem cells in vitiliginous skin
Transplanting melanocyte stem cells from hair follicles can effectively treat vitiligo.
research 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 Untersuchungen der Fremdstoffbindung in permanenten Keratinozyten- und Melanozyten-Zelllinien sowie die Eignung von Primärkulturen aus humanen Haarfollikeln zur In-vitro-Messung der Fremdstoffaufnahme im Haar
Unpigmented keratinocytes absorb substances faster, while melanocytes bind more strongly to melanin.
research Loss of ‘Epidermal Melanin Unit’ Integrity in Human Skin During Melanoma-Genesis
Melanoma development can be linked to the breakdown of skin's melanin-producing units.
research Enhanced Differentiation Potential of Pigmented Human Epidermal Equivalents
PmtHEE is a better model for studying pigmented skin because it includes melanocytes and shows improved cell differentiation.
research 1339 Casein kinase 1 inhibition in keratinocytes enhances the migration of melanocyte precursors in the hair follicle via KitL/c-Kit signaling pathway
