research Changes in Different Melanocyte Populations During Hair Follicle Involution (Catagen)
Different melanocyte types in hair follicles either survive or die during the catagen phase.
research Do Hair Bulb Melanocytes Undergo Apotosis During Hair Follicle Regression (Catagen)?
Hair follicle melanocytes die during hair regression.
research Melatonin in Dermatologic Allergic Diseases and Other Skin Conditions: Current Trends and Reports
Melatonin, the sleep hormone, can help treat skin conditions like dermatitis, hyperpigmentation, and scalp disorders, and may also aid in skin aging prevention and regeneration. However, it's not recommended for asthma due to its pro-inflammatory effect.
research BMI1 is required for melanocyte stem cell maintenance and hair pigmentation
BMI1 is essential for preventing hair greying and maintaining hair color.
research Human melanocyte development and melanoma dedifferentiation at single cell resolution
Human melanocytes have unique traits that affect melanoma development and prognosis.
research Foot shock stress prolongs the telogen stage of the spontaneous hair cycle in a non‐depilated mouse model
Stress in mice delays hair growth and treatments blocking substance P can partly reverse this effect.
research Immunology of alopecia areata
Alopecia areata, a type of hair loss, is likely an autoimmune disease with a genetic link, but its exact cause is still unknown.
research The biology and clinical application of systemic glucocorticoids
Glucocorticoids are powerful anti-inflammatory drugs that must be used carefully to avoid serious side effects.
research Melanocyte Pygmentation – Friend or Foe on the Route to Melanoma

research Melatonin: functions and ligands
Melatonin helps regulate sleep and may aid in treating various health issues.
research Neuropilin 2 expression and function in melanocytes and melanoma
Neuropilin 2 may be a biomarker for melanoma and affects melanocyte behavior.
research The mineralocorticoid receptor plays a transient role in mouse skin development
The mineralocorticoid receptor temporarily affects mouse skin development, but the glucocorticoid receptor has a more lasting impact.
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 Simultaneous LC-MS/MS quantification of glucocorticoids, melatonin and its metabolites in hair
The new method can measure sleep-related hormones in hair effectively and could help track long-term sleep patterns.
research Culturing of Melanocytes from the Equine Hair Follicle Outer Root Sheath
