research CD34 defines melanocyte stem cell subpopulations with distinct regenerative properties
CD34+ and CD34- melanocyte stem cells have different regenerative abilities.
research Cutaneous toxicities of new treatments for melanoma
New melanoma treatments can cause skin side effects, including skin cancer and rashes, but combining treatments may reduce these risks.
research Corticotropin-releasing hormone inhibits autophagy by suppressing PTEN to promote apoptosis in dermal papilla cells
CRH causes hair loss by reducing cell survival in hair follicles.
research Identifying the Target Cells and Mechanisms of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Infection
Human dermal fibroblasts are the main cells targeted by a virus that can cause a deadly skin cancer, and a certain inhibitor can effectively block this infection.
research Hair Follicle Stem Cells Maintain the Differentiation Refractory Niche for Co-Occupant Melanocyte Stem Cells by Regulating Retinoid Metabolic Process
Hair follicle stem cells prevent melanocyte stem cells from differentiating by controlling retinoic acid levels.
research Hair Repigmentation as a Melanoma Warning Sign
Hair turning darker can be a sign of skin cancer.
research Differential effects of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) between mouse and human melanoma cell lines
DHEA inhibits growth in both mouse and human melanoma cells but works differently in each.
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.
