Research
300-330 / 1000+ resultsresearch Keratinocyte Cytokine Networks Associated with Human Melanocytic Nevus Development
Keratinocyte cytokines and genetic variations influence the development of moles and skin pigmentation.
research Hair Repigmentation as a Melanoma Warning Sign
Hair turning darker can be a sign of skin cancer.
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.
research Localization of Merkel cells at hairless and hairy human skin sites using keratin 18
Merkel cells are more densely found in hairless skin areas like palms and soles.
research LB1081 Three-dimensional imaging of tight junction-network across multiple layers of human epidermis by array tomography using backscattered electron-mode scanning electron microscopy
The study found that tight junctions reach the top layer of the skin's stratum granulosum, not just the second top layer as previously thought.
research In vivo multiphoton microscopy imaging of vitiligo (Conference Presentation)
Multiphoton microscopy helps understand and improve vitiligo treatments by visualizing skin cell changes.
research Hair follicle-derived melanocyte transplant as a promising treatment strategy for vitiligo
Hair follicle-derived melanocyte transplant could effectively treat vitiligo by restoring skin color.
research 1418 Characterization of ectomesenchyme as an origin of epidermal stem cells
Ectomesenchyme is a key source of skin stem cells.
research When the Circadian Clock Meets the Melanin Pigmentary System
Silencing certain circadian clock genes increases skin pigmentation.
research Le mélanome malin bilatéral de l'uvée
Apoptosis in hair follicles spreads through cell death signals, with stem cells slowing the process.
research Dynamics of Merkel Cell Patterns in Developing Hair Follicles in the Dorsal Skin of Mice, Demonstrated by a Monoclonal Antibody to Mouse Keratin 8
Merkel cells develop independently of nerves and are linked to specific hair follicles in mice.
research Three-Dimensional Analysis of Cell Division Orientation in Epidermal Basal Layer Using Intravital Two-Photon Microscopy
Cell division orientation varies by body site and is linked to epidermal thickness and cell density.
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 1233 Exploring the role of melanocyte subpopulations in vitiligo
A specific group of early-stage melanocytes is reduced in vitiligo-affected skin, which may explain treatment resistance.
research Hair Follicle Pigmentation
Hair color is determined by melanin produced and transferred in hair follicles.
research Repigmentation through Melanocyte Regeneration in Vitiligo
UV light can help stimulate the growth of new pigment cells from hair follicles in people with vitiligo.
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 Hair follicle epithelial stem cells contribute to interfollicular epidermis during homeostasis
Hair follicle stem cells help maintain skin health by moving to and supporting the skin's surface layers.
research Complications and Limitations of Melanocyte Transplantation
Melanocyte transplantation can safely restore skin color, especially in stable vitiligo, but must be chosen carefully based on the disease phase.
research Characterization and Localization of Side Population Cells in Mouse Skin
Mouse skin has special cells in the epidermis that decrease with age and are linked to keratinocyte stem cells.
research Histopathologic Findings of Cutaneous Hyperpigmentation in Addison Disease and Immunostain of the Melanocytic Population
The study found increased skin pigmentation and variable melanocyte density in a patient with Addison's disease.
research 780 Novel mechanism of UVB-mediated pigmentation through the axis of ATP-P2X7
Scientists discovered a new way UVB light increases skin pigmentation through the ATP-P2X7 pathway.
research Merkel Cells in Hyperplastic and Neoplastic Lesions of the Skin
Merkel cell increase is specific to certain skin diseases, not general skin growth.
research Ultrastructure of the contrasting types of keratinization seen in the tail epidermis of the laboratory mouseMus musculus
Mouse tail skin has different keratinization near hair follicles and scales.
research Melanocytes and Vitiligo (and Hair Graying)
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
research ‘Malignant melanoma microecosystem’: Immunohistopathological insights into the stromal cell phenotype
Stromal cells in melanoma promote tumor growth and spread.
research 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 Melanocytes from the Outer Root Sheath of Hair Follicles Cultivated on Collagen Membrane Improve their Melanotic Properties
Collagen membranes improve melanocyte growth for treating skin depigmentation.
research The silver locus product (Silv/gp100/Pmel17) as a new tool for the analysis of melanosome transfer in human melanocyte–keratinocyte co‐culture
The new assay can track and measure melanosome transfer between skin cells, confirming filopodia's role in this process.
