Pimecrolimus boosts melanin production and movement of skin pigment cells.
research Repigmentation through Melanocyte Regeneration in Vitiligo
UV light can help stimulate the growth of new pigment cells from hair follicles in people with vitiligo.
research Towards a “free radical theory of graying”: melanocyte apoptosis in the aging human hair follicle is an indicator of oxidative stress induced tissue damage
Oxidative stress causes hair to gray by damaging and killing pigment cells.
research The silver locus product (Silv/gp100/Pmel17) as a new tool for the analysis of melanosome transfer in human melanocyte–keratinocyte co‐culture
