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 Original Article : Fabrication and Characterization of Epithelial Scaffolds for Hair Follicle Regeneration
The study found that certain three-dimensional scaffolds can help regenerate hair effectively.
research Understanding Cancer Cells of Origin in Cutaneous Tumors
The document concludes that identifying the specific cells where skin cancers begin is important for creating better prevention, detection, and treatment methods.
research 1379 Cell of origin contributes to the melanoma diversity
Different types of stem cells in the skin contribute to the variety of melanoma forms.
research Human skin color: Origin, variation and significance
Human skin and hair color variation is mainly due to melanin produced by a few genes, with melanin protecting against sun damage.
research Steroidogenic Factor-1 Lineage Origin of Skin Lesions in Carney Complex Syndrome
Skin lesions in Carney Complex are caused by a gene change in some skin cells that leads to increased pigmentation and may lead to tumors.
research Steroidogenic factor-1 lineage origin of skin lesions in Carney complex syndrome
Skin lesions in Carney complex are likely caused by a specific group of skin cells that promote pigment production due to a genetic mutation.
research Giant pigmented tumour of the scalp—a diffuse neurofibroma or a congenital naevus showing neurofibromatous changes? Immunohistochemical and electron microscopic studies
The tumor likely shows dual neural crest differentiation.
research Stem Cells of the Hair Follicular Tissue: Application in Cell Based Therapy for Vitiligo
Hair follicle stem cells could be used to treat the skin condition vitiligo.
research Scalp hair repigmentation after radiotherapy
A 76-year-old man's grey hair turned back to its original color after radiotherapy.
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 Skin melanocytes: biology and development
The paper concludes that understanding melanocyte development can help in insights into skin diseases and melanoma diversity.
research Melanocytes and Vitiligo (and Hair Graying)
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
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.
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 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 Subungual melanocytic lesions
Early subungual melanoma might be treated with less aggressive surgery because it invades the skin under the nail more slowly.
research Pigmented Epithelioid Melanocytoma (PEM)/Animal Type Melanoma (ATM): Quest for an Origin. Report of One Unusual Case Indicating Follicular Origin and Another Arising in an Intradermal Nevus
The conclusion is that Pigmented Epithelioid Melanocytoma can start from hair follicle stem cells or from a mole on the skin.
research Assessing Auditory and Cochlear Function in Alopecia Areata Patients: Exploring the Link to Cochlear Melanocyte Damage
Alopecia areata may be linked to hearing problems, so patients should monitor their hearing.
research DP18 A mimicker of melanoma on sun-exposed sites
Melanocytic matricoma can look like skin cancer but is usually harmless; surgery and follow-up are advised.
research Small Intestinal Organoid-Derived SP Cells Contribute to Repair of Irradiation-Induced Skin Injury
Intestinal stem cells can help repair skin damage from radiation.
research Any route for melanoblasts to colonize the skin!
Melanoblasts migrate to the skin using various pathways, and understanding this process could help with skin disease research.
research Hair(y) Matters in Melanoma Biology
The document concludes that the immune-inhibitory environment of the hair follicle may prevent melanoma development.
research Models for Skin Cancer
Malignant melanoma is the deadliest skin cancer, while BCC is the most common but rarely spreads, and SCC is more aggressive than BCC.
research The cell biology of human hair follicle pigmentation
We need more research on human hair follicle pigmentation, not just mouse models.
research Dissecting the bulge in hair regeneration
Stem cells in hair follicles are diverse and change throughout the hair cycle.
research Hair science and technology
The book "Hair Science and Technology" provides a deep understanding of hair biology and genetics, discusses hair growth, density, and diseases, and offers methods for managing hair loss and caring for hair growth.
research How the stress of fight or flight turns hair white
Stress turns hair white by depleting color-giving cells in hair follicles through a specific neurotransmitter related to the body's stress response.
research Clinical Snippets
Increased pigmentation may protect skin from UVB, new targets for skin disease treatments were identified, sunscreen ingredients don't affect hormones, TNF-α inhibitors may help diabetic wounds, and certain treatments could prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss.
