30 / 1000+ resultsresearch When the Circadian Clock Meets the Melanin Pigmentary System
Silencing certain circadian clock genes increases skin pigmentation.
research Androgenetic alopecia: a possible treatment and a relationship with hair greying. Assessment of the herbal mixture Xiantene for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia and a relationship between early hair greying and the progression of androgenetic alopecia
The herbal mixture Xiantene may help treat common baldness, and men who grey early tend to be less bald but more grey.
research An approach to disorders of pigmentation
The document concludes that pigmentation disorders in animals involve complex interactions between melanocytes and keratinocytes.
research 8 Applications and Safety in Skin of Color
Microneedling and PRP are safe and effective for skin rejuvenation in people with skin of color, with fewer side effects than laser treatments.
research Dopa oxidase activity in the hair, skin and ocular melanocytes is increased in the presence of stressed fibroblasts
Stressed fibroblasts greatly increase melanin production in hair, skin, and eye cells, mainly due to a growth factor called bFGF.
research Melanocyte stem cells: a melanocyte reservoir in hair follicles for hair and skin pigmentation
Melanocyte stem cells in hair follicles are key for hair color and could help treat greying and pigment disorders.
research Direct conversion of mouse and human fibroblasts to functional melanocytes by defined factors
Fibroblasts can be turned into melanocytes for potential skin treatments.
research Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway activates melanocyte stem cells in vitro and in vivo
The Wnt/β-catenin pathway can activate melanocyte stem cells and may help regenerate hair follicles.
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 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 Dermatoses of pregnancy
Pregnancy can cause various skin changes and diseases, with PUPPP being the most common skin condition specific to pregnancy.
research mTORC1 activity negatively regulates human hair follicle growth and pigmentation
High mTORC1 activity slows hair growth and causes it to lose color.
research Age-induced hair greying - the multiple effects of oxidative stress
Hair greying is caused by oxidative stress damaging hair follicles and melanocytes.
research The Peripheral Clock Regulates Human Pigmentation
Certain genes control the color of human hair by affecting pigment production.
research Premature graying of hair
Premature graying of hair may suggest health issues and currently lacks effective treatments.
research Age-Related Hair Pigment Loss
Graying hair happens due to aging and might be delayed by new treatments.
research Epimedium brevicornum Maxim. Extract exhibits pigmentation by melanin biosynthesis and melanosome biogenesis/transfer
Epimedium extract helps increase skin pigmentation and could be a new treatment for conditions with reduced pigmentation.
research Receptor tyrosine kinase Kit action in skin melanocytes: is it exclusively cell autonomous?
KIT's role in skin cells is not entirely independent, as other cells can influence its function.
research Major approaches of molecular and physiopathological mechanisms for hormonal treatment of melasma: a systematic review
Estrogens and progesterone are key in regulating melasma pigmentation.
research 皮膚組織の再生に向けた皮膚由来幹細胞に関する研究
Skin-derived stem cells could help treat skin aging and pigmentation issues.
research Obstetric and Gynecologic Dermatology
A pregnant woman's skin condition improved after giving birth, possibly due to high estrogen levels during pregnancy.
research 780 Novel mechanism of UVB-mediated pigmentation through the axis of ATP-P2X7
Scientists discovered a new way UVB light increases skin pigmentation through the ATP-P2X7 pathway.
research Melanogenesis is coupled to murine anagen: Toward new concepts for the role of melanocytes and the regulation of melanogenesis in hair growth
Hair color production in mice is closely linked to the hair growth phase and may also influence hair growth itself.
