research Lentiginous melanoma. A clinically malignant entity that histopathologically seems benign. Case study harbouring BRAF V 600R mutation
A clinically suspected melanoma appeared benign under the microscope but was confirmed by specific tests and a rare mutation.
research Segmental Vitiligo
Segmental Vitiligo is a stable, early-onset form of vitiligo that responds well to early treatment and is ideal for repigmentation studies.
research Hair(y) Matters in Melanoma Biology
The document concludes that the immune-inhibitory environment of the hair follicle may prevent melanoma development.
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 Clinical and Molecular Diagnostic Criteria of Congenital Atrichia with Papular Lesions11This paper originally appeared in issue 117:1662–1665, 2001. Following publication the authors indicated that important corrections at page proof were not taken in. To ensure that the paper is published as intended, the editors have decided to reproduce the contents in full.
Congenital atrichia with papular lesions is often misdiagnosed, and new diagnostic criteria can improve accuracy.

research 1379 Cell of origin contributes to the melanoma diversity
Different types of stem cells in the skin contribute to the variety of melanoma forms.
research Mechanisms of Hair Graying: Incomplete Melanocyte Stem Cell Maintenance in the Niche
Hair graying is caused by the loss of pigment cells due to poor maintenance of stem cells in the hair follicle.
research 1229 Melanocyte cell states defined and visualized in developing mouse skin
Researchers found three types of melanocytes in developing mouse skin, each with different genes and locations.
research Polarized microscopy in genetic hair disorders: case series
Polarized microscopy helps identify hair irregularities in genetic disorders.
research Reversible cutaneous hyperpigmentation and nails with white hair due to vitamin B12 deficiency.
Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause skin darkening and white hair, but it's reversible.
research INTERACTION OF α-MELANOCYTE-STIMULATING HORMONE, MELATONIN, CYCLIC AMP AND CYCLIC GMP IN THE CONTROL OF MELANOGENESIS IN HAIR FOLLICLE MELANOCYTES IN VITRO
α-MSH and cyclic AMP boost melanin production, while cyclic GMP and melatonin reduce it.
research Human melanocyte development and melanoma dedifferentiation at single cell resolution
Human melanocytes have unique traits that affect melanoma development and prognosis.
research Dermoscopy of scalp tumours: a multi‐centre study conducted by the international dermoscopy society
The study concluded that scalp tumors show different patterns based on age, gender, and tumor thickness, and emphasized the importance of early detection and scalp examinations.
research Pigmented contact dermatitis due to therapeutic sensitizer as complication of contact immunotherapy in alopecia areata
Some patients with severe alopecia areata developed skin darkening from their treatment, which may indicate a less effective response to the therapy.
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.
