840-870 / 1000+ results 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 Pigmented contact dermatitis due to therapeutic sensitizer as complication of contact immunotherapy in alopecia areata
Some patients with severe alopecia areata developed skin darkening from their treatment, which may indicate a less effective response to the therapy.
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 Nonsynchronized segmented heterochromia in black scalp hair
A 14-year-old girl's black hair showed unique color changes, suggesting early greying.
research Endothelin-1 combined with extracellular matrix proteins promotes the adhesion and chemotaxis of amelanotic melanocytes from human hair follicles in vitro
Endothelin-1 helps amelanotic melanocytes stick and move better on certain proteins.
research Congenital Combined Melanocytic Nevus of the Scalp With Associated Alopecia Areata
A man with a birthmark on his scalp developed hair loss that improved with treatment, but the link between the birthmark and hair loss was unclear.

A rare combination of halo nevi, nonsegmental vitiligo, and early gray hair can occur together.
research Pathogenesis of Chemical Leukoderma and Chemical‐Induced Vitiligo
Chemical leukoderma is temporary, while chemical-induced vitiligo can be persistent and harder to treat.

Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause skin and hair color changes, which can be reversed with treatment.
research Surgical Management of Leukotrichia
Surgical repigmentation can permanently restore color to white hair in vitiligo patients.
research Regrowth of black hair in two red‐haired alopecia areata patients
Two red-haired men with alopecia areata regrew black hair instead of red.

Understanding genes can help diagnose and treat skin color disorders.
research Amelanocytic Anhidrotic Alopecia Areata-like Phenotype After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant
The immune system can cause permanent skin and hair whitening by attacking pigment cells.
research Levodopa-induced skin disorders in patients with Parkinson disease: a systematic literature review approach
Levodopa for Parkinson's disease might be linked to skin issues like melanoma, but it's unclear if the drug or the disease causes them.
research A pair of transmembrane receptors essential for the retention and pigmentation of hair
Bmpr2 and Acvr2a receptors are crucial for hair retention and color.
research Follicular vitiligo: A rare clinical variant of a common entity
Follicular vitiligo causes hair to gray without skin color loss.

MC-1R is present in skin cells and may help reduce inflammation.
research The Role of gp91phox and the Effect of Tranexamic Acid Administration on Hair Color in Mice
Tranexamic acid turns white hair brown in certain mice by affecting specific proteins.
research Clinical Snippets
Increased pigmentation may protect skin from UVB, new targets for skin disease treatments were identified, sunscreen ingredients don't affect hormones, TNF-α inhibitors may help diabetic wounds, and certain treatments could prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss.
research BH05 (P049) Best foot forward: awareness of melanoma of the foot among podiatrists
Podiatrists need more training to detect foot melanoma early.
research Pigmentation and Pregnancy
Most skin changes during pregnancy are harmless and moles don't significantly change, but many women experience pigmentation changes due to hormones and sun exposure.
research Melanocytes: A possible autoimmune target in alopecia areata
Melanocytes might be targeted by the immune system in people with alopecia areata, but more research is needed.
