The gene Tfap2b is essential for creating a type of stem cell in zebrafish that can become different pigment cells.
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 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 Differentiation of cultured hair follicle neural crest stem cells into functional melanocytes
Hair follicle stem cells can become melanocytes to help treat skin depigmentation.
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 Origin, Clinical Presentation, and Diagnosis of Facial Hypermelanoses
Facial dark spots can be caused by the sun, genetics, makeup, or medicine, and are diagnosed by patient history and skin tests.
research In Vitro Biosynthesis of Mouse Hair Keratins Under the Direction of Follicular RNA
research Downregulation of nuclear factor-kappaB activation in human keratinocytes by melanogenesis inhibitors
Melanogenesis inhibitors like kojic acid and niacinamide can reduce inflammation and pigment production in skin cells.
research MITF E318K naevus phenotype: the modifying role of MC1R Red Hair Variants
research Serine Biosynthesis In Human Hair Follicles By The Phosphorylated Pathway: Follicular 3-Phosphoglycerate Dehydrogenase
research 1272 p21Waf1/Cip1 is differentially expressed in epidermal versus follicular melanocytes and melanoma cells and is phenotypically regulated by UVB-mediated apoptosis
The protein p21 is more abundant in normal skin cells than in melanoma cells and may help protect against melanoma, with UVB light affecting its levels.
research Coming of Age of Melanogenesis-Related Proteins
Tyrosinase and gp100 proteins can help diagnose and treat melanoma.
research Platelet-derived growth factor regulates the proliferation and differentiation of human melanocytes in a differentiation-stage-specific manner
PDGF-BB helps young melanocytes grow but stops mature ones from growing, and it makes melanocytes more specialized.
research Expression patterns of MITF during human cutaneous embryogenesis: evidence for bulge epithelial expression and persistence of dermal melanoblasts
Melanocyte precursors in human fetal skin follow a specific migration pattern and some remain in the skin's deeper layers.
research Survival of patchwork melanoblasts is dependent upon their number in the hair follicle at the end of embryogenesis
More melanoblasts in hair follicles mean better survival and proper hair pigmentation.
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 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 Epidermal pigmentation in the human lineage is an adaptation to ultraviolet radiation
Forensic DNA Phenotyping can help predict physical traits from crime scene DNA to identify suspects.
research Melanocortin receptors in fibroblastic cell types of the skin –in vitro and in vivo expression and functional relevance
MC-1R is present in skin cells and may help reduce inflammation.
research Lipid‐mediated signalling and melanocyte function
A sphingolipid from human placenta may help treat vitiligo by activating melanocyte stem cells.
