research The silver locus product (Silv/gp100/Pmel17) as a new tool for the analysis of melanosome transfer in human melanocyte–keratinocyte co‐culture
The new assay can track and measure melanosome transfer between skin cells, confirming filopodia's role in this process.
research Steroidogenic factor-1 lineage origin of skin lesions in Carney complex syndrome
Skin lesions in Carney complex are likely caused by a specific group of skin cells that promote pigment production due to a genetic mutation.
research Influence of prostaglandin F2α and its analogues on hair regrowth and follicular melanogenesis in a murine model
Prostaglandin F2alpha and related compounds can increase hair growth and darken hair in mice.
research Somatic mutations distinguish melanocyte subpopulations in human skin
Hair follicles protect melanocytes from sun damage, helping them replenish skin.
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 Cortisol Enhances the Expression of mac25/Insulin-Like Growth Factor-Binding Protein-Related Protein-1 in Cultured Osteoblasts**This work was supported by NIDDK Grant DK-45227 and a scholarship (to R.C.P.) from Fundacao Coordenacao de Aperfeicoa mento de Pessoal de Nivel Superior (CAPES), Universidade de Sao Paulo (Sao Paulo, Brazil).

A protein called sFRP4 from skin cells stops the development of pigment-producing cells in hair.
research New frontiers in human hair follicle (neuro‐)endocrinology
Human scalp hair follicles can produce and respond to several hormones, affecting hair growth and pigmentation.
research Plasma β‐Endorphin Concentrations During Natural and Artificially Induced Winter Hair Growth in Mink (Mustela vison)
Melatonin and cortisol affect mink winter hair growth, but β-endorphin levels do not.
research Delta Opioid Receptors Presynaptically Regulate Cutaneous Mechanosensory Neuron Input to the Spinal Cord Dorsal Horn
Delta opioid receptors help regulate touch sensation by reducing neurotransmitter release in the spinal cord.
research Melatonin promotes hair regeneration by modulating the Wnt/β ‐catenin signalling pathway
Melatonin helps hair grow by activating a specific signaling pathway.
research Is There a Rationale for the Use of an Alpha-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone Analog to Improve Gray Hair Repigmentation?
PT-20 did not significantly improve gray hair repigmentation.
research Inhibition of mitochondrial respiration prevents BRAF-mutant melanoma brain metastasis
Stopping mitochondrial respiration can prevent brain cancer spread in skin cancer patients, and plant compound β-sitosterol could help achieve this.
