Melanocytes can regenerate around hair follicles in bullous pemphigoid, especially in patients with darker skin.
research Role of Dermal Factors Involved in Regulating the Melanin and Melanogenesis of Mammalian Melanocytes in Normal and Abnormal Skin
Dermal factors are crucial in regulating melanin production in skin.
research 1272 p21Waf1/Cip1 is differentially expressed in epidermal versus follicular melanocytes and melanoma cells and is phenotypically regulated by UVB-mediated apoptosis
The protein p21 is more abundant in normal skin cells than in melanoma cells and may help protect against melanoma, with UVB light affecting its levels.
research 1200 The biology of melanocytes
Melanocytes are cells that make skin and hair color and help protect skin from sun damage.
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 Comparison Treatment of Vitiligo by Co-culture of Melanocytes Derived from Hair Follicle with Adipose-Derived Stem Cells with and without NB-UVB
Treating vitiligo with stem cells and melanocytes from hair, along with UVB light, works better than without the light.
research Finasteride Inhibits Melanogenesis throughthe Regulation of Melanocortin 1 Receptorin Melanocytes
Finasteride reduces melanin production in skin cells.
research Untersuchungen der Fremdstoffbindung in permanenten Keratinozyten- und Melanozyten-Zelllinien sowie die Eignung von Primärkulturen aus humanen Haarfollikeln zur In-vitro-Messung der Fremdstoffaufnahme im Haar
Unpigmented keratinocytes absorb substances faster, while melanocytes bind more strongly to melanin.
research Repigmentation of Leukotrichia Due to Retrograde Migration of Melanocytes After Noncultured Epidermal Suspension Transplantation
The treatment improved hair color in most vitiligo patients without major side effects.
research Sulfated hyaluronan‐containing artificial extracellular matrices promote proliferation of keratinocytes and melanotic phenotype of melanocytes from the outer root sheath of hair follicles
Sulfated hyaluronan in collagen helps hair follicle cells grow and develop better for skin grafts.
research Exosomal miR ‐199a‐3p From Dermal Papilla Cells Regulates Hair Follicle Pigmentation by Targeting POU2F1 in Melanocytes
Exosomal miR-199a-3p from dermal papilla cells helps control hair color by affecting melanocytes.
research Dual Tumors — Trichoadenoma of Nikolowski and Melanocytic Naevi
A person had two different benign skin tumors, a trichoadenoma and melanocytic naevi, at the same time but in different places on the face.
research Histopathological Study of Epithelial, Melanocytic And Adnexal Tumors Of Skin- A Retrospective Study In A Tertiary Care Centre
Most skin tumors in the study were benign, with squamous cell carcinoma being the most common malignant type.
research Combined melanocytic nevus presenting with scalp alopecia associated with alopecia areata: Coincidence or causal?
A man's scalp hair loss was due to a combined melanocytic nevus and alopecia areata, suggesting a possible link between the two conditions.
research All-trans retinoic acid induced the differentiation of amelanotic melanocytes of human hair follicle
All-trans retinoic acid helps amelanotic melanocytes in hair follicles develop and produce pigment while reducing their growth.
research Morphologic comparison of cultured human epidermis melanocytes,amelanotic melanocytes from hair follicles and mouse melanoma cells observed by atomic force microscope

research Detection of Functionally Active Melanocortin Receptors and Evidence for an Immunoregulatory Activity of α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
αMSH may help regulate immune responses in hair follicles and its disruption could lead to hair loss.
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.
