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 Melanogenesis Is Coupled to Murine Anagen: Toward New Concepts for the Role of Melanocytes and the Regulation of Melanogenesis in Hair Growth.
Hair color production is closely linked to the active growth phase of hair in mice and may also influence hair growth itself.
research Human Hair Follicle and Epidermal Melanocytes Exhibit Striking Differences in Their Aging Profile which Involves Catalase
Hair follicle cells age faster and lose pigment due to less catalase, causing hair to turn gray.
research INTERACTION OF α-MELANOCYTE-STIMULATING HORMONE, MELATONIN, CYCLIC AMP AND CYCLIC GMP IN THE CONTROL OF MELANOGENESIS IN HAIR FOLLICLE MELANOCYTES IN VITRO
α-MSH and cyclic AMP boost melanin production, while cyclic GMP and melatonin reduce it.
research EFFECTS OF α-MELANOCYTE-STIMULATING HORMONE AND [8-ARGININE]-VASOTOCIN UPON MELANOGENESIS IN HAIR FOLLICLE MELANOCYTES IN VITRO
α-MSH increases melanin production in moulting hair follicles, while AVT inhibits it.
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 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 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 Observation of cultured amelanotic melanocytes from hair follicles by atomic force microscopy
Amelanotic melanocytes from hair follicles are immature and likely don't transfer melanosomes to keratinocytes.
research All-trans retinoic acid induced the differentiation of amelanotic melanocytes of human hair follicle
All-trans retinoic acid helps amelanotic melanocytes in hair follicles develop and produce pigment while reducing their growth.
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 Changes in Different Melanocyte Populations During Hair Follicle Involution (Catagen)
Different melanocyte types in hair follicles either survive or die during the catagen phase.
research 453 Signaling by Senescent Melanocytes Induces New Hair Growth and Informs Hair Growth-Activating Injectable for Androgenetic Alopecia
AMP-303 injections can increase hair growth in androgenetic alopecia with minimal side effects.
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 Reversal of premature hair graying treated with a topical formulation containing α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone agonist (Greyverse Solution 2%)
A woman's premature gray hair turned mostly black again after using Greyverse solution and hair supplements for 5 months.
research Do Hair Bulb Melanocytes Undergo Apotosis During Hair Follicle Regression (Catagen)?
Hair follicle melanocytes die during hair regression.
research Dissecting the boundary of quiescence and activation of murine melanocyte stem cells in the hair follicle niche
Melanocyte stem cells in hair follicles are key to understanding and potentially preventing hair graying.
research Is There a Rationale for the Use of an Alpha-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone Analog to Improve Gray Hair Repigmentation?
PT-20 did not significantly improve gray hair repigmentation.
research Melanogenesis is coupled to murine anagen: Toward new concepts for the role of melanocytes and the regulation of melanogenesis in hair growth
Hair color production in mice is closely linked to the hair growth phase and may also influence hair growth itself.
research The Lysosomal Protease Cathepsin L Is an Important Regulator of Keratinocyte and Melanocyte Differentiation During Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Cycling
Cathepsin L is essential for normal hair growth and development.
research Melanocyte Subpopulation Turnover During the Human Hair Cycle: An Immunohistochemical Study
Melanocyte activity in hair follicles is linked to the hair growth cycle, being active in growth phases and inactive in rest phases.
research The chemokine SDF-1/CXCL12 regulates the migration of melanocyte progenitors in mouse hair follicles
SDF-1/CXCL12 and its receptor CXCR4 are crucial for melanocyte movement in mouse hair follicles.
research Premature Graying as a Consequence of Compromised Antioxidant Activity in Hair Bulb Melanocytes and Their Precursors
Gray hair may be caused by lower antioxidant activity in hair cells.
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 Wnt10b Promotes Differentiation of Mouse Hair Follicle Melanocytes
Wnt10b helps hair follicle cells mature and produce pigment.
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.
research Paracrine Secreted Frizzled-Related Protein 4 Inhibits Melanocytes Differentiation in Hair Follicle
A protein called sFRP4 from skin cells stops the development of pigment-producing cells in hair.
