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 Desmoplastic melanoma presenting as an alopecic patch in a young patient
A man had a rare skin cancer that looked like a bald spot.
research The color of skin: white diseases of the skin, nails, and mucosa
The document concludes that while white skin, nail, and mucosa diseases increase skin cancer risk, they are generally harmless, especially compared to darker pigmentation conditions.
research Tumour regression predicts higher risk of sentinel node involvement in thin cutaneous melanomas
Shrinking skin cancer increases the chance of cancer in nearby lymph nodes.
research Focal perifollicular mucinosis of the eyelid presenting as a benign nevus
A rare skin condition was misdiagnosed as a harmless mole on a woman's eyelid.
research Cutaneous Markers of Disorders Affecting Adult Horses
Skin and hair changes in horses can indicate serious diseases, and recognizing these signs is important for treatment and management.
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 Giant Congenital Blue Nevus Presenting as Cutis Verticis Gyrata: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Surgical removal is advised for large congenital blue nevi due to rare cancer risk.
research Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli with reticulated hyperpigmentation of the extremities
A rare skin condition causes red and dark patches on the face and limbs.
research Coming of Age of Melanogenesis-Related Proteins
Tyrosinase and gp100 proteins can help diagnose and treat melanoma.
research The chemokine SDF-1/CXCL12 regulates the migration of melanocyte progenitors in mouse hair follicles
SDF-1/CXCL12 and its receptor CXCR4 are crucial for melanocyte movement in mouse hair follicles.
research Field melanin mapping of the hairless scalp
The study found a specific pattern of uneven melanin distribution on balding scalps that could help understand skin diseases caused by light exposure.
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 Clinical, Dermoscopic, and Histological Characteristics of Melanoma Patients According to the Age Groups: A Retrospective Observational Study
Melanoma characteristics vary by age, which could help doctors with diagnosis and prevention.
research Change in Hair Color in Mice Induced by Injection of α-MSH
Injecting α-MSH made mice's hair turn black.
research Merkel Cells in Hyperplastic and Neoplastic Lesions of the Skin
Merkel cell increase is specific to certain skin diseases, not general skin growth.
research Alopecia neoplastica caused by desmoplastic melanoma
A rare skin cancer caused hair loss and spread, needing multiple treatments.
research Increased PHGDH expression uncouples hair follicle cycle progression and promotes inappropriate melanin accumulation
Increased PHGDH expression causes early melanin buildup in hair follicles.
research Changes in Different Melanocyte Populations During Hair Follicle Involution (Catagen)
Different melanocyte types in hair follicles either survive or die during the catagen phase.
research A rare repigmentation pattern in a vitiligo patient: a clue to an epidermal stem-cell reservoir of melanocytes?
Repigmentation in vitiligo may come from melanocyte stem cells in the skin.
research ONKOLOGIA OKULISTYCZNA WCZORAJ I DZIŚ
Uveal melanoma is hard to treat when it spreads, but a new drug, tebentafusp, helps patients live longer.
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 Melanocortins in fibroblast biology – current update and future perspective for dermatology
α-MSH may help treat skin inflammation and fibrosis.
research Coexistence of giant blue nevus of the scalp with hair loss and alopecia areata
A giant blue nevus on the scalp can cause hair loss and may damage underlying structures.
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 Folliculotropic CD8+ mycosis fungoides associated with diffuse mucosal involvement
A rare type of skin cancer with mucosal involvement was partially treated but eventually relapsed.
research 576 A preliminary study of melanogenic markers in the differentiation of the human hair follicle melanin unit
The study found markers indicating that cells responsible for hair color are differentiating in specific areas of the hair follicle.
research Hair(y) Matters in Melanoma Biology
The document concludes that the immune-inhibitory environment of the hair follicle may prevent melanoma development.
research Tyrosine kinase inhibition and grey hair
Imatinib can repigment grey hair, while SU11428 can cause temporary hair depigmentation.
