30 / 1000+ resultsresearch 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 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.
research Essential Role for Integrin-Linked Kinase in Melanoblast Colonization of the Skin
Integrin-linked kinase is crucial for melanoblasts to properly colonize the skin.
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 890 Development of pigmented reconstructed human epidermis model containing human melanoblasts from keratinocyte culture
The created skin model with melanoblasts improves the study of skin color and offers an alternative to animal testing.
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 Structure and function of melanocytes: microscopic morphology and cell biology of mouse melanocytes in the epidermis and hair follicle.
Mouse melanocyte structure and function are influenced by genetics, hormones, and environmental factors.
research The chemokine SDF-1/CXCL12 regulates the migration of melanocyte progenitors in mouse hair follicles
SDF-1/CXCL12 and its receptor CXCR4 are crucial for melanocyte movement in mouse hair follicles.
research A neuroendocrinological perspective on human hair follicle pigmentation
Brain hormones significantly affect hair color and could potentially be used to prevent or reverse grey hair.
research Mechanisms of repigmentation induced by photobiomodulation therapy in vitiligo
Light therapy using helium-neon lasers can help restore skin color in vitiligo by promoting skin cell growth and movement.
research Characterization of a new, inducible transgenic mouse model with GFP expression in melanocytes and their precursors
A new mouse model helps study melanocyte cells using GFP expression.
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 Hair(y) Matters in Melanoma Biology
The document concludes that the immune-inhibitory environment of the hair follicle may prevent melanoma development.

RF-based therapies might help treat hair loss.
research A case of widespread non-pigmented hair regrowth in diffuse alopecia areata
A woman with severe hair loss regrew mostly white hair after treatment.
research 15. Hair and Nails
Women with androgenetic alopecia have fewer terminal hairs, phenol in nail surgery is safe, and a new hair transplant method is faster and less damaging.
research Stabilization of β-catenin promotes melanocyte specification at the expense of the Schwann cell lineage
Activating β-catenin increases melanocytes and decreases Schwann cells.
research Microphthalmic-associated transcription factor integrates melanocyte biology and melanoma progression.
Mitf plays a key role in melanoma progression and is linked to disease stage.
