research Immunohistopathological analysis of frizzled-4-positive immature melanocytes from hair follicles of patients with Rhododenol-induced leukoderma
Rhododendrol in skin-whitening products can cause skin depigmentation and immune reactions.
research The ‘melanocyte-keratin’ mystery revisited: neither normal human epidermal nor hair follicle melanocytes express keratin 16 or keratin 6in situ
Human melanocytes in skin and hair follicles don't express keratin 16 or 6 naturally.
research Optimization of the method for the culture of melanocyte precursors from hair follicles and their activation by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3
1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 helps melanocyte precursors from hair follicles grow and produce melanin, aiding vitiligo treatment understanding.
research [Effect of Tribulus terrestris extract on melanocyte-stimulating hormone expression in mouse hair follicles].
Tribulus terrestris extract significantly increases MSH expression and melanin production in mouse hair follicles.
research Dermal papilla cells and melanocytes response to physiological oxygen levels depends on their interactions
Low oxygen levels improve the function of hair and skin cells when they are in direct contact.
research Melanocytes from the outer root sheath of human hair and epidermal melanocytes display improved melanotic features in the niche provided by cGEL, oligomer-cross-linked gelatin-based hydrogel
cGEL hydrogel improves melanin production in skin cells, making it a promising option for skin treatments.
research Lipid‐mediated signalling and melanocyte function
A sphingolipid from human placenta may help treat vitiligo by activating melanocyte stem cells.
research The early repigmentation pattern of vitiligo is related to the source of melanocytes and by the choice of therapy: a retrospective cohort study
Repigmentation patterns in vitiligo depend on melanocyte source, lesion status, and therapy choice.
research Melanocyte Chitosan/Gelatin Composite Fabrication with Human Outer Root Sheath-Derived Cells to Produce Pigment
The technique can isolate cells to help treat skin pigmentation issues.
research Keratinocyte Cytokine Networks Associated with Human Melanocytic Nevus Development
Keratinocyte cytokines and genetic variations influence the development of moles and skin pigmentation.
research Melanocytes from the Outer Root Sheath of Hair Follicles Cultivated on Collagen Membrane Improve their Melanotic Properties
Collagen membranes improve melanocyte growth for treating skin depigmentation.
research SPRY1 Deficiency in Keratinocytes Induces Follicular Melanocyte Stem Cell Migration to the Epidermis through p53/Stem Cell Factor/C-KIT Signaling
SPRY1 deficiency in skin cells causes stem cells to move to the skin surface, leading to increased pigmentation.
research BMI1 is required for melanocyte stem cell maintenance and hair pigmentation
BMI1 is essential for preventing hair greying and maintaining hair color.
research Spatiotemporal Labeling of Melanocytes in Mice
The research showed how melanocytes develop, move, and respond to UV light, and their stem cells' role in hair color and skin cancer risk.
research The Suppression Effects of Fat Mass and Obesity Associated Gene on the Hair Follicle-Derived Neural Crest Stem Cells Differentiating into Melanocyte by N6-Methyladenosine Modifying Microphthalmia-Associated Transcription Factor
The FTO gene hinders stem cells in hair follicles from becoming pigment cells.
research The distribution of melanocytes and the degradation of melanosomes in fetal hair follicles
Fetal hair follicles have melanocytes with melanosomes at different stages, which are broken down into pigment particles in keratinocytes.
research Targeted Knockout of β-Catenin in Adult Melanocyte Stem Cells Using a Mouse Line, Dct::CreERT2, Results in Disrupted Stem Cell Renewal and Pigmentation Defects
Removing β-catenin in certain stem cells causes hair whitening and pigmentation issues.
research Hair follicle-derived melanocyte transplant as a promising treatment strategy for vitiligo
Hair follicle-derived melanocyte transplant could effectively treat vitiligo by restoring skin color.
research Functional and long-lived melanocytes from human pluripotent stem cells with transient ectopic expression of JMJD3
Researchers successfully differentiated human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) into functional and long-lived melanocytes by transiently expressing JMJD3. These melanocytes maintained their growth rate for approximately 200 days, demonstrated key functions such as melanogenesis and melanin transfer, and showed high engraftability and biocompatibility in immunodeficient mice. The study highlights the potential of using pluripotent stem cells to develop clinical applications for treating pigmentary skin disorders like vitiligo, which affects 0.1–2.0% of the global population. The differentiation protocol's simplicity enhances its potential for clinical use, addressing challenges in obtaining sufficient melanocytes for transplantation.
research Culture of amelanotic melanocytes derived from human fetal hair follicles
Melanocytes from human fetal hair follicles were successfully cultured, showing potential for hair disease research and clinical use.
research Niche work when you can get it: collagen XVII and the melanocyte stem cell
Collagen XVII is crucial for preventing hair and pigmentation loss by maintaining melanocyte stem cells.
research A human serum‐enriched medium formulation supports high viability and marker expression in primary melanocyte cultures from the outer root sheath and epidermis
A human serum-enriched medium effectively supports melanocyte growth and activity without using animal-derived supplements.
research Reversal of premature hair graying treated with a topical formulation containing α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone agonist (Greyverse Solution 2%)
A woman's premature gray hair turned mostly black again after using Greyverse solution and hair supplements for 5 months.
research 085 Autoantigen screening in C3H/HeJ mouse model of alopecia areata revealed high antigenicity of melanocyte-associated antigen epitopes
