We know a lot about mouse hair color, but not much about human hair color differences.
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 How the leopard gets its spots: a transmembrane peptidase specifies feline pigmentation patterns
A gene called Taqpep affects cat coat patterns like stripes and blotches.

Mutations in the TSPEAR gene cause a new form of ectodermal dysplasia affecting hair and tooth development.
research Symposium Proceedings of the 4th Intercontinental Meeting of Hair Research Societies: “The World of Hair 2004”
The 2004 hair research meeting presented new findings on hair cell differentiation, genetic factors in hair loss, hair pigmentation, and potential targeted therapies.
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 Spectrum of Phenotypes Associated with Human MC1R Variations
MC1R gene variations affect skin, hair color, UV sensitivity, and melanoma risk.
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 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 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 Regulatory mutations in TBX3 disrupt asymmetric hair pigmentation that underlies Dun camouflage color in horses
Mutations in TBX3 cause horses to have more even hair color instead of Dun camouflage.
research The Genetics of Human Skin Disease
Genetic research has advanced our understanding of skin diseases, but complex conditions require an integrative approach for deeper insight.
research Understanding Cancer Cells of Origin in Cutaneous Tumors
The document concludes that identifying the specific cells where skin cancers begin is important for creating better prevention, detection, and treatment methods.
research A neuroendocrinological perspective on human hair follicle pigmentation
