research Editors' Picks
New findings suggest targeting IL-23 could treat psoriasis, skin cells can adapt to new roles, direct conversion of skin cells to blood cells may aid cell therapy, removing certain tumor cells could boost cancer immunotherapy, and melanoma may have many tumorigenic cells, not just cancer stem cells.
research Viewpoint 3
Oxidative stress plays a significant role in vitiligo, and both skin and non-skin cells may be involved.
research Exosomal miR-222-3p derived from dermal papilla cells inhibits melanogenesis in melanocytes by targeting SOX10 in rabbits
Exosomal miR-222-3p reduces melanin production in rabbits by targeting the SOX10 gene.
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 GENOTYPE ? PHENOTYPE CORRELATIONS IN CUTANEOUS MELANOMA PATIENTS CARRIER OF THE MITF p.E318K PATHOGENIC VARIANT
MITF+ melanoma patients are more likely to have multiple melanomas and unique skin patterns.
research Enhanced Differentiation Potential of Pigmented Human Epidermal Equivalents
PmtHEE is a better model for studying pigmented skin because it includes melanocytes and shows improved cell differentiation.
research Optimization of the method for the culture of melanocyte precursors from hair follicles and their activation by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3
1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 helps melanocyte precursors from hair follicles grow and produce melanin, aiding vitiligo treatment understanding.
research Abstract LB-039: Chronic inflammation-mediated contribution of bone marrow-derived epithelial cells and hair follicle stem cells to development of cutaneous neoplasms
Bone marrow-derived cells contribute to skin tumors, suggesting new treatment targets for non-melanoma skin cancers.
research Koebnerization secondary to microblading
A woman developed vitiligo from repeated eyebrow microblading.
research The distribution of melanocytes and the degradation of melanosomes in fetal hair follicles
Fetal hair follicles have melanocytes with melanosomes at different stages, which are broken down into pigment particles in keratinocytes.
research Deregulated expression of E2F1 induces hyperplasia and cooperates with ras in skin tumor development
Overexpression of E2F1 can lead to skin tumors and disrupt hair growth.
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 Tyrosinase Depletion Prevents the Maturation of Melanosomes in the Mouse Hair Follicle
Reducing Tyrosinase prevents mature color pigment cells from forming in mouse hair.
research Identification of hair shaft progenitors that create a niche for hair pigmentation
Scientists found cells in hair that are key for growth and color.
research Observation of cultured amelanotic melanocytes from hair follicles by atomic force microscopy
Amelanotic melanocytes from hair follicles are immature and likely don't transfer melanosomes to keratinocytes.
research Two novel CreERT2 transgenic mouse lines to study melanocytic cells in vivo
New mouse models help study melanocytic cells for melanoma research.

The conclusion is that Pigmented Epithelioid Melanocytoma can start from hair follicle stem cells or from a mole on the skin.
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 1272 p21Waf1/Cip1 is differentially expressed in epidermal versus follicular melanocytes and melanoma cells and is phenotypically regulated by UVB-mediated apoptosis
