30 / 349 results research Dissecting the Impact of α-MSH-MC1R-cAMP Signaling on UVA-Induced Stress in Fibroblasts - Implications for Regulation of Cutaneous Photoaging
The α-MSH-MC1R-cAMP pathway does not protect skin cells from UVA damage.
research Spectrum of Phenotypes Associated with Human MC1R Variations
MC1R gene variations affect skin, hair color, UV sensitivity, and melanoma risk.
research Estudo da diversidade dos genes MC1R e SLC24A5 em populações globais: avaliação de aspectos evolutivos e ambientais
SLC24A5 shows a clear selective sweep, but no link to UV radiation intensity.
research MITF E318K naevus phenotype: the modifying role of MC1R Red Hair Variants
research The Role of Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Prevention of Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Platelet-rich plasma doesn't prevent hair loss from chemotherapy, and mononuclear cells only help against hair loss from one specific chemotherapy drug.
research Efficacy of an agonist ofα-MSH, the palmitoyl tetrapeptide-20, in hair pigmentation
Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-20 may help reduce hair greying and increase melanin production.
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 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 EdnrB Governs Regenerative Response of Melanocyte Stem Cells by Crosstalk with Wnt Signaling
EdnrB signaling helps melanocyte stem cells regenerate and could be targeted to treat pigmentation issues.
research Regulation of melanocyte stem cell behavior by the niche microenvironment
The environment around melanocyte stem cells is key for hair regeneration and color, with certain injuries affecting hair color and potential treatments for pigmentation disorders.
research Piecing together the pigment-type switching puzzle
The document concludes that MGRN1 affects mouse fur color by interfering with a receptor's signaling, but its full role in the body is still unknown.
research Sox2 in the dermal papilla regulates hair follicle pigmentation
Sox2 controls hair color by affecting pigment production in hair follicles.
research Human hair melanins: what we have learned and have not learned from mouse coat color pigmentation
We know less about human hair pigmentation than mouse coat color, but pH and cysteine levels are key factors.
research Associations between sun sensitive pigmentary genes and serum prostate specific antigen levels
Men with less sun-sensitive skin have lower PSA levels, while men with more sun-sensitive skin have higher PSA levels.
research Grey, curly and short-haired Swiss Holstein cattle show genetic traces of the Simmental breed
Swiss Holstein cattle with curly, short hair carry genes from the Simmental breed.
research Whole-genome resequencing to investigate the genetic diversity and the molecular basis underlying key economic traits in indigenous sheep breeds adapted to hypoxic environments
Tibetan sheep have specific genes for high-altitude adaptation and wool traits, aiding breeding strategies.
research 642 Uncovering the role of UV exposure history and genetics in determining skin sun damage
UV photography can help identify people at higher risk for skin cancer, and male pattern baldness at age 45 is linked to a higher risk of certain skin cancers.
research Role of the ACTH/MC2R System in the Hair Cycle in Mice
The ACTH/MC2R system is crucial for controlling hair growth cycles in mice.
research Melanocytes and Vitiligo (and Hair Graying)
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
research The color of human hair
Hair color is determined by melanin types and gene activity.
research 457 Impact of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone on mitochondrial function in human dermal fibroblasts
Alpha-MSH affects mitochondrial function, and MC1R mutations may increase skin aging.
research Zinc deficiency or genetic mutations?—A case report of hair heterochromia in the context of MC1R genetic mutations
A boy's hair turned red because of genetic mutations, not lack of zinc.
research Transgneic Endothelin 3 Regulates Murine Pigment Production and Coat Color
The gene Endothelin 3 makes mice's fur darker by increasing pigment cells and pigment levels.
research Activity evaluation of epidermo-melanin unit and dermal damage in melasma
Melasma results from changes in the skin's pigment and structure, not just pigment cell growth.
research Finasteride Inhibits Melanogenesis throughthe Regulation of Melanocortin 1 Receptorin Melanocytes
Finasteride reduces melanin production in skin cells.
research The color of human hair
Human hair color is determined by melanin types and genetic factors.
research Hormones and skin: A never ending love story!
Hormones significantly affect skin health, with vitamin D playing a key role.
research Evolution in action: highlighting a role for the Agouti gene in development?
The Agouti gene influences pigmentation and may have a developmental role in deer mice.
research Australasian Society for Dermatology Research Meeting, May 2006
The meeting highlighted the genetic basis of female pattern hair loss and various skin health insights.
