research Basal cells in the epidermis and epidermal differentiation
The exact identity of skin stem cells and how skin cells differentiate is not fully known.
research 1339 Casein kinase 1 inhibition in keratinocytes enhances the migration of melanocyte precursors in the hair follicle via KitL/c-Kit signaling pathway
Blocking casein kinase 1 in skin cells can help melanocyte precursors move better, potentially helping with conditions like vitiligo or gray hair.
research Retinoids Modulate MITF: A Novel Mechanism in the Regulation of Melanogenesis
Retinoids or their analogs could treat skin pigmentation disorders like melasma and vitiligo.
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 A new look into an old problem: keratins as tools to investigate determination, morphogenesis, and differentiation in skin.
Keratin expression reflects cell organization and differentiation, not causes it.
research Giant pigmented tumour of the scalp—a diffuse neurofibroma or a congenital naevus showing neurofibromatous changes? Immunohistochemical and electron microscopic studies
The tumor likely shows dual neural crest differentiation.
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 Non-pigmentary actions of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone--lessons from the cutaneous melanocortin system.
Alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone helps manage skin inflammation and protect against UV damage.
research Pilomatricoma can differentiate not only towards hair matrix and hair cortex, but also follicular infundibulum, outer root sheath and hair bulge
Pilomatricoma can develop into various hair-related structures.
research AMPK Phosphorylates ZDHHC13 to Increase MC1R Activity and Suppress Melanomagenesis
AMPK activation may reduce melanoma risk in red-haired individuals.
research Tribuloside acts on the PDE/cAMP/PKA pathway to enhance melanogenesis, melanocyte dendricity and melanosome transport
Tribuloside can increase skin pigmentation by enhancing melanin production and distribution.
research BJD Editor's Choice
Some Greek melanoma patients have gene mutations linked to increased cancer risk, a new color feature helps diagnose melanoma, the incidence of a skin condition in the Netherlands is rare, and a gene possibly affects male-pattern baldness.
research Krox20 in epithelial and glial stem cells and their niches
Krox20 is important for cell differentiation in the brain and hair follicles.
research Supplementary Methods, Tables 1-2 and Figures from Tumor Stroma–Derived Wnt5a Induces Differentiation of Basal Cell Carcinoma of <i>Ptch</i>-Mutant Mice via CaMKII
research Colourless side of the nude mutation: Foxn1 and hair pigmentation
Foxn1 is essential for hair pigmentation by directing pigment transfer to hair cells.
research Foxn1 promotes keratinocyte differentiation by regulating the activity of protein kinase C
Foxn1 helps skin cells mature by controlling a specific protein's activity.
research Betamethasone actives cultured amelanotic melanocytes derived from outer root sheath of human hair follicle
Betamethasone activates and increases the growth of certain skin cells from hair follicles.
research Clinical Snippets
Some cells may slow melanoma growth, a protein could affect skin pigmentation, a gene-silencing method might treat hair defects, skin bacteria changes likely result from eczema, and a defensin protein could help treat multiple sclerosis.
research Deciphering the Mesodermal Potency of Porcine Skin-Derived Progenitors (SKP) by Microarray Analysis
Pig skin cells can turn into mesodermal cells but lose their ability to become neural cells.
research In brief
Pilomatricomas don't follow the usual hair follicle cell differentiation process.
research Pimecrolimus increases the melanogenesis and migration of melanocytes in vitro
Pimecrolimus boosts melanin production and movement of skin pigment cells.
research Sox2 in the dermal papilla regulates hair follicle pigmentation
Sox2 controls hair color by affecting pigment production in hair follicles.
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 Author response: Crosstalk with keratinocytes causes GNAQ oncogene specificity in melanoma
Keratinocytes can reverse the effects of the GNAQ oncogene, inhibiting melanoma cell growth.
research Nestin as a marker of unipotent epithelial progenitor cells differentiate into outer root sheath keratinocytes in embryonic and adult hair follicles
Nestin-expressing cells turn into a specific type of skin cell in hair follicles during development and in adults.
research Cell Differentiation in Human Anagen Hair and Hair Follicles Studied with Anti-Hair Keratin Monoclonal Antibodies
research Dissection of a Complex Enhancer Element: Maintenance of Keratinocyte Specificity but Loss of Differentiation Specificity
