Research
60-90 / 1000+ resultsresearch Anti-graying effect of the extract of Pueraria thunbergiana via upregulation of cAMP/MITF-M signaling pathway
Pueraria thunbergiana extract may help prevent hair from turning gray.
research Melan-A Positive cells significantly expressed in immune-targeted follicles of Alopecia Areata
Melanocytes may trigger the immune response in alopecia areata, affecting hair regrowth.
research An introduction to skin disease in melanin rich skin
Melanin-rich skin has unique challenges in diagnosing and treating skin diseases.
research Genetics of thyroid lesions updated
RET mutation is important in familial medullary thyroid carcinoma, and BRAF mutation in papillary thyroid carcinoma is linked to more aggressive cancer and higher death rates.
research Aesthetic surgery – pertinent papers 2002–2003
Advancements in aesthetic surgery from 2002-2003 include improved skin resurfacing, effective migraine surgery, satisfying hair transplants, alternative treatments for skin nevi, successful endoscopic midface enhancement, and safe techniques for facial rejuvenation.
research Immunohistochemical assessment of SOX10 and its relation to the immune cellular infiltrate in alopecia areata follicles
SOX10 in hair follicles is linked to inflammation in alopecia areata.
research Transgneic Endothelin 3 Regulates Murine Pigment Production and Coat Color
The gene Endothelin 3 makes mice's fur darker by increasing pigment cells and pigment levels.
research Fundamental hair follicle biology and fine fibre production in animals
Hair follicle growth and fiber production in animals are influenced by chemical signals, proteins, pigmentation, genetics, and nutrients.
research Dissecting the bulge in hair regeneration
Stem cells in hair follicles are diverse and change throughout the hair cycle.
research Determining the Secondary Role of UV Light in Swimmers Melanoma Genesis
Hydrogen peroxide is the main risk factor for melanoma in swimmers, not UV light.
research The secondary role of UV light in swimmers melanoma genesis
Hydrogen peroxide is a major risk factor for melanoma in swimmers, more than UV light.
research Frontal fibrosing alopecia preceding the development of vitiligo: A case report
Hair loss condition FFA was seen before the appearance of skin depigmentation vitiligo in a patient.
research Histomorphometric study of hair follicle of Assam Hill goat during preruminant, transitional and ruminant age groups
Ruminant goats have larger and more defined hair follicles than younger goats.
research Single-hair follicular unit transplant for stable vitiligo
Follicular unit transplant successfully repigmented vitiligo patch on upper lip.
research Mechanisms of Hair Graying: Incomplete Melanocyte Stem Cell Maintenance in the Niche
Hair graying is caused by the loss of pigment cells due to poor maintenance of stem cells in the hair follicle.
research Subungual melanocytic lesions
Early subungual melanoma might be treated with less aggressive surgery because it invades the skin under the nail more slowly.
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 Penetration Profile of Microspheres in Follicular Targeting of Terminal Hair Follicles
Microspheres about 1.5 micrometers in size can best penetrate hair follicles, potentially reaching important stem cells.
research Follicular Targeting–A Promising Tool in Selective Dermatotherapy
Targeting hair follicles can improve skin treatments and reduce side effects.
research Keratinocyte Stem Cells but Not Melanocyte Stem Cells Are the Primary Target for Radiation-Induced Hair Graying
Radiation mainly affects keratinocyte stem cells, not melanocyte stem cells, causing hair to gray.
research Punch graft versus follicular hair transplantation in the treatment of stable vitiligo
Punch grafting treats vitiligo faster but can cause a cobblestone look, while follicular hair transplantation is slower but looks better and has no side effects.
research Follicular Transplantation, Microneedling, and Adjuvant Narrow-band Ultraviolet-B Irradiation as Cost-Effective Regimens for Palmar-Plantar Vitiligo: A Pilot Study
Combining hair transplantation with microneedling or laser and UV light may help treat tough vitiligo on hands and feet, with microneedling being affordable and easy to learn.
research Melanocytes and Vitiligo (and Hair Graying)
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
