research Exosomal miR-222-3p derived from dermal papilla cells inhibits melanogenesis in melanocytes by targeting SOX10 in rabbits
Exosomal miR-222-3p reduces melanin production in rabbits by targeting the SOX10 gene.
research DP18 A mimicker of melanoma on sun-exposed sites
Melanocytic matricoma can look like skin cancer but is usually harmless; surgery and follow-up are advised.
research Activity evaluation of epidermo-melanin unit and dermal damage in melasma
Melasma results from changes in the skin's pigment and structure, not just pigment cell growth.
research Multipotent nestin-positive, keratin-negative hair-follicle bulge stem cells can form neurons

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 The distribution of melanocytes and the degradation of melanosomes in fetal hair follicles
Fetal hair follicles have melanocytes with melanosomes at different stages, which are broken down into pigment particles in keratinocytes.
research Inducible cre-mediated N-ras activation and PTEN inactivation in transgenic mouse melanocytes requires keratinocyte hyperplasia to elicit a melanocyte pathology
Melanocyte pathology requires keratinocyte hyperplasia and regulation dysfunction.

Melanocytes from human fetal hair follicles were successfully cultured, showing potential for hair disease research and clinical use.
research The cutaneous serotoninergic/melatoninergic system: securing a place under the sun
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin, which help protect and maintain it.
research Splenic eumelanin differs from hair eumelanin in C57BL/6 mice.
Splenic eumelanin in C57BL/6 mice is different from hair eumelanin.
research Role of Dermal Factors Involved in Regulating the Melanin and Melanogenesis of Mammalian Melanocytes in Normal and Abnormal Skin

research Dissecting the boundary of quiescence and activation of murine melanocyte stem cells in the hair follicle niche
Melanocyte stem cells in hair follicles are key to understanding and potentially preventing hair graying.
research Piecing together the pigment-type switching puzzle
The document concludes that MGRN1 affects mouse fur color by interfering with a receptor's signaling, but its full role in the body is still unknown.
research Effects of SLC45A2 and GPNMB on Melanin Deposition Based on Transcriptome Sequencing in Chicken Feather Follicles
SLC45A2 and GPNMB genes help control chicken feather color by promoting melanin.
research Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling controls hair pigmentation by means of cross-talk with the melanocortin receptor-1 pathway
