30-60 / 1000+ results research Electron Microscope Studies of the Human Epidermis The Clear Cell of Masson (Dendritic Cell or Melanocyte)
A unique skin cell similar to hair bulb melanocytes was identified, with better preservation using permanganate fixation.
research Does Nicastrin Inadequacy Cause Melanocytotoxicity in Human Skin as in the Fish Counterpart?
Nicastrin deficiency may cause skin cell damage and pigmentation disorders in humans, similar to effects seen in fish.
research Platelet-derived growth factor regulates the proliferation and differentiation of human melanocytes in a differentiation-stage-specific manner
PDGF-BB helps young melanocytes grow but stops mature ones from growing, and it makes melanocytes more specialized.
research Exploring the potential effect and mechanisms of protocatechuic acid on human hair follicle melanocytes
Protocatechuic acid can reduce melanin production and boost antioxidant activity in hair follicles.
research Detection of Functionally Active Melanocortin Receptors and Evidence for an Immunoregulatory Activity of α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
αMSH may help regulate immune responses in hair follicles and its disruption could lead to hair loss.
research Novel Chemically Modified Curcumin (CMC) Analogs Exhibit Anti-Melanogenic Activity in Primary Human Melanocytes
CMC2.24 and CMC2.23 reduce melanin safely and effectively.
research Towards a “free radical theory of graying”: melanocyte apoptosis in the aging human hair follicle is an indicator of oxidative stress induced tissue damage
Oxidative stress causes hair to gray by damaging and killing pigment cells.
research The silver locus product (Silv/gp100/Pmel17) as a new tool for the analysis of melanosome transfer in human melanocyte–keratinocyte co‐culture
The new assay can track and measure melanosome transfer between skin cells, confirming filopodia's role in this process.
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 Gene expression profile of human follicle dermal papilla cells in response to Camellia japonica phytoplacenta extract
Camellia japonica extract may improve scalp health and promote hair growth.
research ABSENCE OF H2O2 BREAKDOWN IN HUMAN HAIR MEDULLA IMPLICATIONS IN FOLLICULAR MELANOGENESIS
Human hair medulla doesn't break down hydrogen peroxide, which may affect hair color formation.
research Human hair follicles display a functional equivalent of the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis and synthesize cortisol
Human hair follicles can produce cortisol like the body's stress response system.
research The human hair follicle has established a fully functional peripheral equivalent of the hypothamalic‐pituitary‐adrenal‐axis (HPA)
Human hair follicles can produce stress hormones like the body's main stress response system.
research Molecular Regulation of Melanocyte Senescence
The article concludes that while we understand a lot about how melanocytes age and how this can prevent cancer, there are still unanswered questions about certain pathways and genes involved.
research Regulated Proenkephalin Expression in Human Skin and Cultured Skin Cells
Human skin cells produce proenkephalin, which changes with environmental factors and skin diseases.
research Interaction between stem cell factor and endothelin-1: effects on melanogenesis in human skin xenografts
SCF and ET-1 together significantly increase skin pigmentation and melanin production.
research Human Hair Graying Revisited: Principles, Misconceptions, and Key Research Frontiers
Hair graying is caused by damage and cell depletion but might be temporarily reversible with drugs and hormones.
research Photosensory Function, Reception and Response in Human Skin
Human skin responds to light with protective mechanisms, but more research is needed to understand these processes and their implications for health and therapy.
research Prostanoid receptors in anagen human hair follicles
Human hair follicles contain a complex network of prostanoid receptors that may influence hair growth.
