research Melanocytes and Vitiligo (and Hair Graying)
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
research In This Issue
Advancements in hair biology include new treatments and tools for hair growth and alopecia.
research Melanocytes: The new Black
Melanocytes are crucial for skin pigmentation and can affect conditions like melanoma, vitiligo, and albinism, as well as hair color and hearing.
research Single-cell transcriptomics reveals lineage trajectory of human scalp hair follicle and informs mechanisms of hair graying
The study found new details about human hair growth and suggests that preventing a specific biological pathway could potentially treat hair graying.
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 The Lysosomal Protease Cathepsin L Is an Important Regulator of Keratinocyte and Melanocyte Differentiation During Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Cycling
Cathepsin L is essential for normal hair growth and development.
research From neural crest cells to melanocytes: cellular plasticity during development and beyond
Melanocyte development from neural crest cells is complex and influenced by many factors, and better understanding could help treat skin disorders.
research Culturing of Melanocytes from the Equine Hair Follicle Outer Root Sheath
Researchers successfully grew horse skin cells that produce pigment from hair follicle samples.
research Melanocyte dysfunctions: future and promise of stem cells
Melanocyte stem cells hold promise for skin regeneration and treating pigmentation issues.
research Melanocytes in regenerative medicine applications and disease modeling
Melanocytes are important for normal body functions and have potential uses in regenerative medicine and disease treatment.
research Hyperactivation of sympathetic nerves drives depletion of melanocyte stem cells
Stress can cause hair to turn gray by depleting stem cells.
research Non-pigmentary actions of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone--lessons from the cutaneous melanocortin system.
Alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone helps manage skin inflammation and protect against UV damage.
research Molecular heterogeneity of quiescent melanocyte stem cells revealed by single‐cell RNA ‐sequencing
Different types of resting melanocyte stem cells have unique characteristics and vary in their potential to become other cells.
research A Short Report on Melanocyte/Melanoma Culture, Senescence, and Reproducibility
Clear documentation and shared best practices are essential for improving research consistency in pigment cells.
research Application of 3D Reflectance Confocal Microscopy: Melanocytic Proliferations as 3D Models; JAAD Supplemental Material
3D models from confocal microscopy improve melanoma detection on sun-damaged skin.
research A ‘hot’ new twist to hair biology – involvement of vanilloid receptor‐1 signaling in human hair growth control
VR1 signaling can inhibit hair growth by affecting cell processes and increasing hair growth inhibitors.
research Niche Required for Inducing Quiescent Stem Cells
A special environment is needed to fully activate sleeping stem cells.
research Three Streams for the Mechanism of Hair Graying
Hair graying may be caused by stem cell depletion from stress or melanocyte damage.
research SASH1 Mutations and Hereditary Disorders of Pigmentation: Review of Literature
SASH1 gene mutations are linked to various inherited skin pigmentation disorders.
research 650 Controlling mTORC1 activity as a novel therapeutic strategy for managing human hair growth and pigmentation
Blocking mTORC1 activity with rapamycin could help increase hair pigmentation and growth, potentially reversing gray hair.
research N02. Hair and Nails
Researchers found new hair and nail genes, how hair reacts to UV, differences in white and pigmented hair growth, nerve changes in alopecia, treatments for baldness and alopecia, a toenail condition linked to a genetic disorder, and that nail fungus is more common in people with psoriasis.
research The hair follicle enigma
The document concludes that understanding hair follicles requires more research using computational methods and an integrative approach, considering the current limitations in hair treatment products.
research Hair regrowth in alopecia areata and re‐pigmentation in vitiligo in response to treatment: Commonalities and differences
Hair regrows faster in alopecia areata than skin re-pigments in vitiligo due to differences in stem cells and treatment effects.
research The Dual Nature of Cellular Senescence: From Aging Signature to Regenerative Catalyst
Cellular senescence can both hinder and promote hair growth, suggesting new ways to treat hair loss.
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 Premature graying of hair
Premature graying of hair may suggest health issues and currently lacks effective treatments.
research Increased PHGDH expression uncouples hair follicle cycle progression and promotes inappropriate melanin accumulation
Increased PHGDH expression causes early melanin buildup in hair follicles.
research Increased PHGDH expression promotes aberrant melanin accumulation
Higher PHGDH levels cause unusual melanin buildup in hair follicles.
