240-270 / 1000+ resultsresearch Vitiligo
Vitiligo causes white skin patches but can be treated in many ways.
research Multipotent nestin-expressing stem cells capable of forming neurons are located in the upper, middle and lower part of the vibrissa hair follicle
Stem cells in hair follicles can become neurons and other cells, especially in the upper part, useful for nerve repair.
research Premature graying of hair
Premature graying of hair may suggest health issues and currently lacks effective treatments.
research Identification of hair shaft progenitors that create a niche for hair pigmentation
Scientists found cells in hair that are key for growth and color.
research Poliosis circumscripta: Overview and underlying causes
Poliosis circumscripta is a patch of white hair caused by lack of melanin, linked to genetic and acquired conditions.
research Expression patterns of MITF during human cutaneous embryogenesis: evidence for bulge epithelial expression and persistence of dermal melanoblasts
Melanocyte precursors in human fetal skin follow a specific migration pattern and some remain in the skin's deeper layers.
research In situ detection of retinoid-X receptor expression in normal and psoriatic human skin
RXR-alpha is strongly expressed in both normal and psoriatic skin and may help in skin cell differentiation and hair growth.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research Prostanoid receptors in anagen human hair follicles
Human hair follicles contain a complex network of prostanoid receptors that may influence hair growth.
research Aging in hair follicle stem cells and niche microenvironment
Aging in hair follicle stem cells leads to hair graying, thinning, and loss.
research Restoration of skin pigmentation after deep partial or full-thickness burn injury
The review suggests that there are various treatments to help restore skin color after severe burns.
research Age-related hair changes in men: Mechanisms and management of alopecia and graying
Men's hair loss is caused by hormones and genes, and can be treated with medication and surgery, while graying is due to aging and has no prevention except dyeing.
research Multipotent nestin‐expressing hair follicle stem cells
Hair follicle stem cells can turn into various cell types and help repair nerves.
research The distributions of type IV collagen .ALPHA. chains in basement membranes of human epidermis and skin appendages
Type IV collagen chains vary in different parts of human skin, with specific patterns linked to melanocytes.
research Runx3 is involved in hair shape determination
Runx3 helps determine hair shape.
research Stem cells supporting other stem cells
Stem cells can help other stem cells by producing supportive factors.
research Stress and Psychoneuroimmunologic Factors in Dermatology
Stress and emotional factors can worsen skin conditions by affecting the immune system.
research Hair Biology
The document explains hair biology, the causes of hair loss, and reviews various hair loss treatments.
research Protective Effect of Superoxide Dismutase Against Hair Graying in a Mouse Model¶
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) can prevent hair graying in mice.
research Histopathology of aging of the hair follicle
Hair becomes gray and thin as we age, and while most hair loss in older people is due to genetics, there's a chance for gray hair to regain color under certain conditions.
research Survival of patchwork melanoblasts is dependent upon their number in the hair follicle at the end of embryogenesis
More melanoblasts in hair follicles mean better survival and proper hair pigmentation.
research Rippled‐pattern trichomatricoma
A unique hair tumor with a rippled pattern was identified, showing incomplete differentiation and unusual cell arrangements.
research Dermal Adipose Tissue Secretes HGF to Promote Human Hair Growth and Pigmentation
Fat under the skin releases HGF which helps hair grow and gain color.
research Topobiology of Human Pigmentation: P-Cadherin Selectively Stimulates Hair Follicle Melanogenesis
P-cadherin is crucial for hair follicle pigmentation but not skin pigmentation.
research Vitiligo: Auto‐immunity and immune responses
Vitiligo is caused by the immune system attacking skin pigment cells.
research Interaction between stem cell factor and endothelin-1: effects on melanogenesis in human skin xenografts
SCF and ET-1 together significantly increase skin pigmentation and melanin production.
research Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin
The skin is essential for protection, temperature control, and immune defense.
research Three Streams for the Mechanism of Hair Graying
Hair graying may be caused by stem cell depletion from stress or melanocyte damage.
research Hair follicle stem cells as a skin‐organizing signaling center during adult homeostasis
Hair follicle stem cells help maintain skin health and could improve skin replacement therapies.
