research Dermal Papilla Cells and Melanocytes Response to Physiological Oxygen Levels Depends on Their Interactions
Oxygen levels affect hair growth and color cells differently when they interact directly.
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 Development of Heritable Melanoma in Transgenic Mice
The transgene likely activated an oncogene or interrupted a tumor suppressor gene, causing melanoma in mice.
research The PER3 rs772027021 SNP induces pigmentation phenotypes of dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria
The PER3 rs772027021 SNP may cause mild skin pigmentation changes in a new subtype of dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria.
research Melanogenesis During the Anagen-Catagen-Telogen Transformation of the Murine Hair Cycle
Hair stops producing melanin as it transitions from the growth phase to the resting phase.
research Cutaneous toxicities of new treatments for melanoma
New melanoma treatments can cause skin side effects, including skin cancer and rashes, but combining treatments may reduce these risks.

Human hair follicles can produce stress hormones like the body's main stress response system.
research Synergy of understanding dermatologic disease and epidermal biology
Advancements in skin and hair biology improve dermatology care and cosmetic treatments.
research Deficiency in Nucleotide Excision Repair Family Gene Activity, Especially ERCC3, Is Associated with Non-Pigmented Hair Fiber Growth
Low ERCC3 gene activity is linked to non-pigmented hair growth.
research Melatonin-induced inhibition of melanogenesis in hair follicles in vitro [proceedings].
research Human hair melanins: what we have learned and have not learned from mouse coat color pigmentation
We know a lot about mouse hair color, but not much about human hair color differences.
research Spatiotemporal Expression, Distribution, and Processing of POMC and POMC-derived Peptides in Murine Skin
POMC-derived peptides are important for skin functions like immune response and stress management.
research Solar-Induced Postinflammatory Hyperpigmentation after Laser Hair Removal
Sun exposure after laser hair removal can cause skin darkening, which is hard to treat and requires avoiding UV light.
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 Spontaneous hair hyperpigmentation in response to vitamin intake in pregnancy—A clue for homocystinuria
Taking vitamin B6 corrected a pregnant woman's metabolic disorder, which changed her hair color.
research 518 Nutrient and stress sensing as novel physiological regulator of human hair pigmentation and greying: Role of mTORC1 activity
Blocking mTORC1 activity could increase hair pigmentation and potentially reverse greying.
research Localized Hair Repigmentation in a 91-Year-Old Woman
A 91-year-old woman's hair turned black in one spot, with skin changes underneath.
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 Malignant Melanoma and Its Stromal Nonimmune Microecosystem
The surrounding tissue plays a crucial role in the growth and spread of skin cancer.
research Topology of Feather Melanocyte Progenitor Niche Allows Complex Pigment Patterns to Emerge
Feather pigment patterns form through melanocyte arrangement and simple regulatory mechanisms.
research RASopathic Skin Eruptions during Vemurafenib Therapy
Vemurafenib causes skin side effects similar to RASopathies, requiring regular skin checks and UVA protection.
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 Merkel cell differentiation in trichoblastoma
Trichoblastomas may mimic fetal skin development by having many Merkel cells, unlike adult skin.
research Skin precancer.
Sun exposure and genetics increase skin cancer risk from precancerous lesions.
research The secondary role of UV light in swimmers melanoma genesis
Hydrogen peroxide is a major risk factor for melanoma in swimmers, more than UV light.
research Left-sided excess of melanoma occurrence but not of other skin cancers: Additional evidence
Melanoma occurs more on the left side of the body, unlike other skin cancers.
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 Future Directions in the Treatment of Vitiligo
New treatments for vitiligo may focus on protecting melanocyte stem cells from stress and targeting specific pathways involved in the condition.
research New frontiers in human hair follicle (neuro‐)endocrinology
Human scalp hair follicles can produce and respond to several hormones, affecting hair growth and pigmentation.
