research 1200 The biology of melanocytes
Melanocytes are cells that make skin and hair color and help protect skin from sun damage.
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 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 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 Direct conversion of mouse and human fibroblasts to functional melanocytes by defined factors
Fibroblasts can be turned into melanocytes for potential skin treatments.
research Field melanin mapping of the hairless scalp
The study found a specific pattern of uneven melanin distribution on balding scalps that could help understand skin diseases caused by light exposure.
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 Pygmentation – Friend or Foe on the Route to Melanoma
Darker skin provides more protection against UV damage and cancer.
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 CD34 defines melanocyte stem cell subpopulations with distinct regenerative properties
CD34+ and CD34- melanocyte stem cells have different regenerative abilities.
research Spatiotemporal Labeling of Melanocytes in Mice
The research showed how melanocytes develop, move, and respond to UV light, and their stem cells' role in hair color and skin cancer risk.
research Melanocyte stem cells in the skin: Origin, biological characteristics, homeostatic maintenance and therapeutic potential
Melanocyte stem cells are vital for skin and hair color and have potential in treating skin disorders and cancer.
research Regulation of melanin synthesis in goat hair follicles by melatonin through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway
research 532 Unexpected expression of hemoglobin α as an endogenous antioxidant in epidermal keratinocytes
Hemoglobin α acts as an antioxidant in skin cells, especially protecting hair follicle stem cells from UV damage.
research Regulation of melanocyte stem cell behavior by the niche microenvironment
The environment around melanocyte stem cells is key for hair regeneration and color, with certain injuries affecting hair color and potential treatments for pigmentation disorders.
research The Peripheral Clock Regulates Human Pigmentation
Certain genes control the color of human hair by affecting pigment production.
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 Post-tyrosinase Inhibition of Melanogenesis by Melatonin in Hair Follicles in Vitro
research DP18 A mimicker of melanoma on sun-exposed sites
Melanocytic matricoma can look like skin cancer but is usually harmless; surgery and follow-up are advised.
research Understanding Melanocyte Stem Cells for Disease Modeling and Regenerative Medicine Applications
Melanocyte stem cells are crucial for skin pigmentation and have potential in disease modeling and regenerative medicine.
research Keratinocytes of the Upper Epidermis and Isthmus of Hair Follicles Express Hemoglobin mRNA and Protein
Skin cells and certain hair follicle areas produce hemoglobin, which may help protect against oxidative stress like UV damage.
research Melanocytes in regenerative medicine applications and disease modeling
Melanocytes are important for normal body functions and have potential uses in regenerative medicine and disease treatment.
research Betamethasone actives cultured amelanotic melanocytes derived from outer root sheath of human hair follicle
Betamethasone activates and increases the growth of certain skin cells from hair follicles.

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 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 Increased PHGDH expression uncouples hair follicle cycle progression and promotes inappropriate melanin accumulation
Increased PHGDH expression causes early melanin buildup in hair follicles.
