Dynlt3 is important for melanosome transport and skin coloration.
research The Hair Pigmentation Unit and Hair Graying
Hair color is due to active pigment cells in hair during growth.
research 780 Novel mechanism of UVB-mediated pigmentation through the axis of ATP-P2X7
Scientists discovered a new way UVB light increases skin pigmentation through the ATP-P2X7 pathway.
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 Metal-Chelation-Assisted Deposition of Polydopamine on Human Hair: A Ready-to-Use Eumelanin-Based Hair Dyeing Methodology
Polydopamine is a safe, effective, and permanent hair dye that turns gray hair black in one hour.
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 Melanocytes and Vitiligo (and Hair Graying)
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.

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 1360 Regulation of bmp signalling in melanogenesis, pigment transfer and melanocyte migration
BMP signaling is important for skin color, affecting melanin production, pigment spread, and cell movement.
research Interaction between stem cell factor and endothelin-1: effects on melanogenesis in human skin xenografts
