research Beyond the Epidermal-Melanin-Unit: The Human Scalp Anagen Hair Bulb Is Home to Multiple Melanocyte Subpopulations of Variable Melanogenic Capacity
The human scalp has different types of pigment cells in hair follicles with varying abilities to produce pigment.
research Lenalidomide Augments Differentiation of Cultured Hair Follicle Derived Melanocyte Stem Cells Into Functional Melanocytes
Lenalidomide helps hair follicle stem cells turn into melanocytes, which may improve repigmentation in vitiligo.
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 1233 Exploring the role of melanocyte subpopulations in vitiligo
A specific group of early-stage melanocytes is reduced in vitiligo-affected skin, which may explain treatment resistance.
research Dermal Papilla Cells and Melanocytes Response to Physiological Oxygen Levels Depends on Their Interactions
Oxygen levels affect hair growth and color cells differently when they interact directly.
research Hair growth promotion, cytotoxicity and skin permeability evaluations of Carthamus tinctorius floret extract
Carthamus tinctorius floret extract is a safe hair growth promoter with good skin absorption.
research Keratinocytes regulate the function of melanocytes
Keratinocytes control how melanocytes work.
research Stress-sensing in the human greying hair follicle: Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) depletion in hair bulb melanocytes in canities-prone scalp
Hair greying is linked to reduced ATM protein in hair cells, which protects against stress and damage.
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 Androgens and hair growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Structure and function of melanocytes: microscopic morphology and cell biology of mouse melanocytes in the epidermis and hair follicle.
Mouse melanocyte structure and function are influenced by genetics, hormones, and environmental factors.
research Human Hair Follicle and Epidermal Melanocytes Exhibit Striking Differences in Their Aging Profile which Involves Catalase
Hair follicle cells age faster and lose pigment due to less catalase, causing hair to turn gray.
research An exclusive review of melatonin effects on mammalian melanocytes and melanoma
Melatonin may inhibit melanoma growth and has potential as a cancer therapy aid, but its effects on human skin pigmentation need more research.
research BMP4 regulates differentiation of nestin-positive stem cells into melanocytes
BMP4 helps stem cells turn into pigment-producing cells, affecting hair color and growth.
research 1363 Hair follicle growth and pigmentation during ageing
The research found that a specific skin cell type not only triggers hair growth but also controls hair color, and that aging can lead to hair loss and color changes.
research 687 BMP signaling in the hair follicle stem cell niche regulates hair growth and skin pigmentation
BMP signaling controls hair growth and skin color.
research Deficiency in Nucleotide Excision Repair Family Gene Activity, Especially ERCC3, Is Associated with Non-Pigmented Hair Fiber Growth
Low ERCC3 gene activity is linked to non-pigmented hair growth.
research Morphological analysis of in vitro human hair growth
Human hair follicles can grow and stay healthy for up to 8 days in a lab setting.
research Prostanoid receptors in anagen human hair follicles
Human hair follicles contain a complex network of prostanoid receptors that may influence hair growth.
research 3,4,5-Tri-O-Caffeoylquinic Acid Promoted Hair Pigmentation Through β-Catenin and Its Target Genes
A substance called TCQA could potentially darken hair by activating certain genes and increasing melanin.
research A comparative study of skin transcriptomes and histological observations for black and white hair colors of giant panda
The study found that giant pandas have more melanin in black hair follicles than white, with gene expression differences that could affect hair color and skin health.
research Vitamin A in Skin and Hair: An Update
Vitamin A is important for healthy skin and hair, influencing hair growth and skin healing, but UV light reduces its levels.
research Hair Follicle Pigmentation
Hair color is determined by melanin produced and transferred in hair follicles.
research The cutaneous serotoninergic/melatoninergic system: securing a place under the sun
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin, which help protect and maintain it.
research Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin
The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.
research On the Role of Melatonin in Skin Physiology and Pathology
Melatonin is important for skin health and protection, and can be made by the skin or applied to it.
research Hair follicle stem cells: Walking the maze
Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair and skin regeneration, can be reprogrammed, and have potential therapeutic uses, but also carry a risk of cancer.
research Stem cell dynamics in the hair follicle niche
Stem cells in the hair follicle are regulated by their surrounding environment, which is important for hair growth.
research The cell biology of human hair follicle pigmentation
We need more research on human hair follicle pigmentation, not just mouse models.
