750-780 / 1000+ resultsresearch Targeted Knockout of β-Catenin in Adult Melanocyte Stem Cells Using a Mouse Line, Dct::CreERT2, Results in Disrupted Stem Cell Renewal and Pigmentation Defects
Removing β-catenin in certain stem cells causes hair whitening and pigmentation issues.
research Melasma and Endocrine Disorders
Melasma is a skin condition linked to female hormones, genetics, UV exposure, and certain medications, but not to pituitary, adrenal, or thyroid diseases.
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-derived melanocyte transplant as a promising treatment strategy for vitiligo
Hair follicle-derived melanocyte transplant could effectively treat vitiligo by restoring skin color.
research Somatic mutations distinguish melanocyte subpopulations in human skin
Hair follicles protect melanocytes from sun damage, helping them replenish skin.
research Spatiotemporal Labeling of Melanocytes in Mice
The research showed how melanocytes develop, move, and respond to UV light, and their stem cells' role in hair color and skin cancer risk.
research Preservation of melanoblasts of white hair follicles of segmental vitiligo lesions: A preliminary study
White hair follicles in vitiligo have fewer and less functional melanocytes.
research Melanocyte dysfunctions: future and promise of stem cells
Melanocyte stem cells hold promise for skin regeneration and treating pigmentation issues.
research Melanocyte stem cells in the skin: Origin, biological characteristics, homeostatic maintenance and therapeutic potential
Melanocyte stem cells are vital for skin and hair color and have potential in treating skin disorders and cancer.
research Complication following treatment with a microneedling technique for a female pattern hair loss: hair dye-induced tattoo-like pigmentation
Avoid hair dye after microneedling to prevent scalp pigmentation.
research Becker's Melanosis and Hypertrichosis*
Becker's Melanosis and Hypertrichosis mainly affects young males, causing brown skin patches and extra hair on one side of the upper body.
research A Comprehensive Review on Skin Pigmentation-Types, Causes, and Treatment
Skin pigmentation varies due to genetics, UV exposure, and medications, with treatments available but requiring medical advice.
research Reversible Hyperpigmentation: A Diagnostic Dilemma
Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause reversible skin darkening.
research The anatomical distribution of lentiginous melanoma (lentigo maligna and lentigo maligna melanoma): Differences according to sex
Lentiginous melanoma is most common on the face, especially the nose, cheek, and pre-auricular areas, with men more likely to have it on the scalp, ears, upper back, and trapezius, and women on the cheek and anterior arm. Sun damage is a key factor in its formation.
research An exclusive review of melatonin effects on mammalian melanocytes and melanoma
Melatonin may inhibit melanoma growth and has potential as a cancer therapy aid, but its effects on human skin pigmentation need more research.
research Human dermal stem cells differentiate into functional epidermal melanocytes
Human dermal stem cells can become functional skin pigment cells.
research Pathologic Quiz Case: A 69-Year-Old Man With a Brown-Black Facial Papule
A rare benign skin growth called melanocytic matricoma was identified in a 69-year-old man.
research Melasma in Men
Treating melasma in men is difficult, especially for the deeper skin layers, and may need more than just topical treatments.
research Disorders of pigmentation in infants and children
Vitiligo causes white skin patches, often starts before age 20, and is linked to other health issues.
research Does Nicastrin Inadequacy Cause Melanocytotoxicity in Human Skin as in the Fish Counterpart?
Nicastrin deficiency may cause skin cell damage and pigmentation disorders in humans, similar to effects seen in fish.
research Melasma, a photoaging disorder
Melasma is now considered a skin aging disorder caused by sun exposure in people with a genetic tendency, which impacts treatment and prevention approaches.
research 014 Non-melanoma skin cancer in skin of color: Cases of mistaken identity
Non-melanoma skin cancer in darker-skinned people can be misdiagnosed, so doctors need to be more aware to diagnose it correctly and early.
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.

Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) can cause bladder problems due to nerve damage.
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 Any route for melanoblasts to colonize the skin!
Melanoblasts migrate to the skin using various pathways, and understanding this process could help with skin disease research.

Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause darkening of all nails.
research Molecular Regulation of Melanocyte Senescence
The article concludes that while we understand a lot about how melanocytes age and how this can prevent cancer, there are still unanswered questions about certain pathways and genes involved.
