research Stabilization of β-catenin promotes melanocyte specification at the expense of the Schwann cell lineage
Activating β-catenin increases melanocytes and decreases Schwann cells.
research Platelet-derived growth factor regulates the proliferation and differentiation of human melanocytes in a differentiation-stage-specific manner
PDGF-BB helps young melanocytes grow but stops mature ones from growing, and it makes melanocytes more specialized.
research Skin melanocytes: biology and development
The paper concludes that understanding melanocyte development can help in insights into skin diseases and melanoma diversity.
research Coordinated Activation of Wnt in Epithelial and Melanocyte Stem Cells Initiates Pigmented Hair Regeneration
Wnt signaling is crucial for pigmented hair regeneration by controlling stem cell activation and differentiation.
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 Wnt10b Promotes Differentiation of Mouse Hair Follicle Melanocytes
Wnt10b helps hair follicle cells mature and produce pigment.
research HGF/SF Increases Number of Skin Melanocytes but Does Not Alter Quality or Quantity of Follicular Melanogenesis
