30 / 1000+ results 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 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 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 A case of systemic mastocytosis - an ultrastructural and immunohistochemical study of the dermal mast cells in relation to activation of the epidermal melanin unit
Prednisone reduces organ mast cell infiltration but does not alter the abnormal appearance of mast cells in systemic mastocytosis.
research The Hair Pigmentation Unit and Hair Graying
Hair color is due to active pigment cells in hair during growth.
research The cell biology of human hair follicle pigmentation
We need more research on human hair follicle pigmentation, not just mouse models.
research An approach to disorders of pigmentation
The document concludes that pigmentation disorders in animals involve complex interactions between melanocytes and keratinocytes.
research Subclinical speckled perifollicular melanosis of the scalp.
The scalp has a natural speckled pattern of increased pigment around hair follicles, possibly linked to local hormone production.
research The Hair Pigmentation Unit and Hair Graying
Hair color is determined by melanins produced in hair cells.
research Theoretical considerations in laser hair removal
Laser hair removal effectiveness depends on targeting hair structures without harming the skin, and improvements require more research and expert collaboration.
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 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 Critical Role of ATP-P2X7 Axis in UV-Induced Melanogenesis
ATP increases melanin production in skin after UV exposure, with the P2X7 receptor being crucial for this process.
research Keratinocytes regulate the function of melanocytes
Keratinocytes control how melanocytes work.
research Age-Related Hair Pigment Loss
Graying hair happens due to aging and might be delayed by new treatments.
research Major approaches of molecular and physiopathological mechanisms for hormonal treatment of melasma: a systematic review
Estrogens and progesterone are key in regulating melasma pigmentation.
research Biology of melanocytes in mammals
Melanocytes are important for skin and hair color and protect the skin from UV damage.
research Therapeutic Potential of Patient iPSC-Derived iMelanocytes in Autologous Transplantation
Patient-derived melanocytes can potentially treat vitiligo by restoring skin pigmentation.
research Conditional Knockout in Mice Reveals the Critical Roles of Ppp2ca in Epidermis Development
PP2Acα is essential for proper hair and skin development.
research Transplantation of melanocyte stem cells in vitiliginous skin

Activating the Sonic hedgehog gene in mice can start the hair growth phase.
research Time and depth resolved visualisation of the diffusion of a lipophilic dye into the hair follicle of fresh unfixed human scalp skin
The dye quickly penetrates hair follicles, mainly through the gap, not the surrounding skin.
research Hair Follicular Expression and Function of Group X Secreted Phospholipase A2 in Mouse Skin
sPLA2-X is crucial for normal hair growth and follicle health.
research Multi‐tasking epidermal stem cells: Beyond epidermal maintenance
Epidermal stem cells have various roles in skin beyond just maintenance, including forming specialized structures and aiding in skin repair and regeneration.
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.
