Research
300-330 / 1000+ results research Influence of Depigmenting Chemical Agents on Hair and Skin Color in Yellow (Pheomelanic) and Black (Eumelanic) Mice
Certain chemicals cause hair graying in black mice but not yellow mice.
research Spectrum of Phenotypes Associated with Human MC1R Variations
MC1R gene variations affect skin, hair color, UV sensitivity, and melanoma risk.
research Melanin Light Absorption as the Necessary but Not Sufficient Condition for Photoepilation: Miniaturization and Eclipse Phenomena
Melanin absorbing light is necessary but not enough for effective hair removal by light treatment.
research 1363 Hair follicle growth and pigmentation during ageing
The research found that a specific skin cell type not only triggers hair growth but also controls hair color, and that aging can lead to hair loss and color changes.
research 509 Using the human iPSCs-derived sensory neurons re-innervated skin ex vivo model to investigate mast cell-nerve fiber cross-talk in solar elastosis
Nerve fibers may worsen mast cell activity, leading to abnormal elastic fiber buildup from sun exposure.
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 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 An implication for post-transcriptional control: Reciprocal changes of melanocortin receptor type 2 mRNA and protein expression in alopecia areata
Alopecia areata may involve stress-related changes affecting hormone receptors, leading to reduced cortisol production.
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 Transduction‐induced overexpression of Merkel cell T antigens in human hair follicles induces formation of pathological cell clusters with Merkel cell carcinoma‐like phenotype
Overexpressing Merkel cell virus proteins in human hair follicles can create clusters of cells that resemble Merkel cell cancer.
research Quercetin stimulates melanogenesis in hair follicle melanocyte of the mouse.
Quercetin boosts melanin production in mouse hair follicles.
research Abstract 4385: Live-imaging the interface between homeostasis and cancer initiation
Mutant cells in hair follicles are influenced by their location and interactions with surrounding cells.
research Scalp melanoma: Distinctive high risk clinical and histological features
Scalp melanomas are more dangerous and often missed, needing earlier detection.
research Melanocyte Stem Cell Maintenance and Hair Graying
Hair graying happens because certain cells aren't maintained properly.
research Alopecia areata – hyperactivity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis is a myth?
The study found no significant difference in stress hormone levels between people with alopecia areata and healthy individuals, suggesting that the disease is not caused by an overactive stress response system.
research Reversible Facial Hyperpigmentation Associated With Vitamin B12 Deficiency
Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause facial dark spots that go away with treatment.
research Clinical Snippets
Some cells may slow melanoma growth, a protein could affect skin pigmentation, a gene-silencing method might treat hair defects, skin bacteria changes likely result from eczema, and a defensin protein could help treat multiple sclerosis.
research Expression of enhancing factor/phospholipase A2 in skin results in abnormal epidermis and increased sensitivity to chemical carcinogenesis
research 085 Autoantigen screening in C3H/HeJ mouse model of alopecia areata revealed high antigenicity of melanocyte-associated antigen epitopes
Melanocyte-associated antigens may play a key role in alopecia areata and could be targets for new treatments.
research Pigmented Epithelioid Melanocytoma (PEM)/Animal Type Melanoma (ATM): Quest for an Origin. Report of One Unusual Case Indicating Follicular Origin and Another Arising in an Intradermal Nevus
The conclusion is that Pigmented Epithelioid Melanocytoma can start from hair follicle stem cells or from a mole on the skin.
research Pharmacological BACE1 and BACE2 inhibition induces hair depigmentation by inhibiting PMEL17 processing in mice
Blocking BACE1 and BACE2 enzymes causes hair color loss in mice.
research Macrophages Contribute to the Cyclic Activation of Adult Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Macrophages help activate hair follicle stem cells, affecting hair growth and skin repair.
research The cutaneous serotoninergic/melatoninergic system: securing a place under the sun
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin, which help protect and maintain it.
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 An in vivo method for the detection of somatic mutations at the cellular level in mice
A new method can detect mutations in mice by observing changes in hair follicle cells.
research Molecular heterogeneity of quiescent melanocyte stem cells revealed by single‐cell RNA ‐sequencing
