360-390 / 1000+ resultsresearch Langerhans' Cells in Hair Follicles of the Depigmenting C57Bl/Ler-vit.vit Mouse
Langerhans' cells are not involved in hair depigmentation in these mice.
research 571 Role of observation for excisionally biopsied moderately dysplastic nevi with positive histologic margins and risk of development of future melanoma
Watching, not removing, skin growths with moderate atypia and positive edges is okay; patients may get melanoma elsewhere, especially if they've had it before.
research CD34 defines melanocyte stem cell subpopulations with distinct regenerative properties
CD34+ and CD34- melanocyte stem cells have different regenerative abilities.
research Melanocyte Chitosan/Gelatin Composite Fabrication with Human Outer Root Sheath-Derived Cells to Produce Pigment
The technique can isolate cells to help treat skin pigmentation issues.
research Finasteride inhibits melanogenesis through regulation of the adenylate cyclase in melanocytes and melanoma cells
Finasteride reduces melanin production, possibly treating hyperpigmentation and melanoma, but needs more safety research.
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 Splenic eumelanin differs from hair eumelanin in C57BL/6 mice.
Splenic eumelanin in C57BL/6 mice is different from hair eumelanin.
research [Effect of Tribulus terrestris extract on melanocyte-stimulating hormone expression in mouse hair follicles].
Tribulus terrestris extract significantly increases MSH expression and melanin production in mouse hair follicles.
research Author response: Dynamics of nevus development implicate cell cooperation in the growth arrest of transformed melanocytes
Moles may stop growing because of cell cooperation, not just because of aging cells.
research Merkel cell differentiation in trichoblastoma
Trichoblastomas may mimic fetal skin development by having many Merkel cells, unlike adult skin.
research Mast cell hyperplasia in the skin of Dsg4-deficient hypotrichosis mice, which are long-living mutants of lupus-prone mice
A gene mutation in mice causes increased mast cells and disorganized hair follicles in their skin.
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 BJD Editor's Choice
Some Greek melanoma patients have gene mutations linked to increased cancer risk, a new color feature helps diagnose melanoma, the incidence of a skin condition in the Netherlands is rare, and a gene possibly affects male-pattern baldness.
