60-90 / 1000+ resultsresearch Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) But Not Alpha-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (a-MSH) as a Mediator of Adrenalectomy Induced Hair Growth in Mink
ACTH promotes hair growth in mink, but α-MSH does not.
research Dopa oxidase activity in the hair, skin and ocular melanocytes is increased in the presence of stressed fibroblasts
Stressed fibroblasts greatly increase melanin production in hair, skin, and eye cells, mainly due to a growth factor called bFGF.
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 Immunohistopathological analysis of frizzled-4-positive immature melanocytes from hair follicles of patients with Rhododenol-induced leukoderma
Rhododendrol in skin-whitening products can cause skin depigmentation and immune reactions.
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 Mode of redifferentiation and melanogenesis of melanocytes in mouse hair follicles
research Skin melanocytes: biology and development
The paper concludes that understanding melanocyte development can help in insights into skin diseases and melanoma diversity.
research The cell biology of human hair follicle pigmentation
We need more research on human hair follicle pigmentation, not just mouse models.
research Aging of the hair follicle pigmentation system
Hair grays due to oxidative stress and fewer functioning melanocytes.
research Age-induced hair greying - the multiple effects of oxidative stress
Hair greying is caused by oxidative stress damaging hair follicles and melanocytes.
research Age-Related Hair Pigment Loss
Graying hair happens due to aging and might be delayed by new treatments.
research The Hair Pigmentation Unit and Hair Graying
Hair color is due to active pigment cells in hair during growth.
research Regulation of melanocyte stem cells in the pigmentation of skin and its appendages: Biological patterning and therapeutic potentials
Understanding how melanocyte stem cells work could lead to new treatments for hair graying and skin pigmentation disorders.
research 3,4,5-Tri-O-Caffeoylquinic Acid Promoted Hair Pigmentation Through β-Catenin and Its Target Genes
A substance called TCQA could potentially darken hair by activating certain genes and increasing melanin.
research Efficacy of an agonist ofα-MSH, the palmitoyl tetrapeptide-20, in hair pigmentation
Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-20 may help reduce hair greying and increase melanin production.
research T-Cell Reconstitution after Thymus Xenotransplantation Induces Hair Depigmentation and Loss
T-cell reconstitution after thymus transplantation can cause hair whitening and loss.
research Repigmentation of Gray Hair After Thyroid Hormone Treatment
Gray hair regained color after thyroid hormone treatment.

Transplanting melanocyte stem cells from hair follicles can effectively treat vitiligo.
research Exploring the hair follicle immune privilege state in nonsegmental vitiligo
Hair follicles in nonsegmental vitiligo are better protected from immune attacks than in alopecia areata.
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 Melanocytes: A possible autoimmune target in alopecia areata
Melanocytes might be targeted by the immune system in people with alopecia areata, but more research is needed.

Fibroblasts can be turned into melanocytes for potential skin treatments.
research Discrimination of Dysplastic Nevi from Common Melanocytic Nevi by Cellular and Molecular Criteria
Dysplastic nevi have unique gene expressions, making them distinct from common melanocytic nevi.
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 A randomized pilot study to compare hair follicle cell suspensions prepared using trypsin alone versus trypsin in combination with collagenase type I for transplantation in vitiligo
Adding collagenase to trypsin improves cell yield and repigmentation in vitiligo treatment.
research The Psychology of Gray Hair
