research Serotoninergic and melatoninergic systems are fully expressed in human skin
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin.
research On the Role of Melatonin in Skin Physiology and Pathology
Melatonin is important for skin health and protection, and can be made by the skin or applied to it.
research Therapeutic Potential of Patient iPSC-Derived iMelanocytes in Autologous Transplantation
Patient-derived melanocytes can potentially treat vitiligo by restoring skin pigmentation.
research Aging of the hair follicle pigmentation system
Hair grays due to oxidative stress and fewer functioning melanocytes.
research Therapeutic Potential of Patient iPSC-Derived iMelanocytes in Autologous Transplantation
Patient-derived stem cell melanocytes could be a promising treatment for vitiligo.
research Enhanced Differentiation Potential of Pigmented Human Epidermal Equivalents
PmtHEE is a better model for studying pigmented skin because it includes melanocytes and shows improved cell differentiation.
research Melatonin: A Cutaneous Perspective on its Production, Metabolism, and Functions
Melatonin may benefit skin health and could be a promising treatment in dermatology.
research Effects of SLC45A2 and GPNMB on Melanin Deposition Based on Transcriptome Sequencing in Chicken Feather Follicles
SLC45A2 and GPNMB genes help control chicken feather color by promoting melanin.
research Topology of Feather Melanocyte Progenitor Niche Allows Complex Pigment Patterns to Emerge
Feather pigment patterns form through melanocyte arrangement and simple regulatory mechanisms.
research Hair follicle-derived melanocyte transplant as a promising treatment strategy for vitiligo
Hair follicle-derived melanocyte transplant could effectively treat vitiligo by restoring skin color.
research Topical application of synthetic melanin promotes tissue repair
Synthetic melanin applied to skin speeds up wound healing.
research Sox9 regulates melanocytic fate decision of adult hair follicle stem cells
Sox9 is crucial for hair follicle stem cells to become melanocytes instead of glial cells.
research A neuroendocrinological perspective on human hair follicle pigmentation
Brain hormones significantly affect hair color and could potentially be used to prevent or reverse grey hair.
research Culture of amelanotic melanocytes derived from human fetal hair follicles
Melanocytes from human fetal hair follicles were successfully cultured, showing potential for hair disease research and clinical use.
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 Microphthalmic-associated transcription factor integrates melanocyte biology and melanoma progression.
Mitf plays a key role in melanoma progression and is linked to disease stage.
research SPRY1 Deficiency in Keratinocytes Induces Follicular Melanocyte Stem Cell Migration to the Epidermis through p53/Stem Cell Factor/C-KIT Signaling
SPRY1 deficiency in skin cells causes stem cells to move to the skin surface, leading to increased pigmentation.
research An in vivo method for the detection of somatic mutations at the cellular level in mice
A new method can detect mutations in mice by observing changes in hair follicle cells.
research Localized Hair Repigmentation in a 91-Year-Old Woman
A 91-year-old woman's hair turned black in one spot, with skin changes underneath.
research The anatomical distribution of lentiginous melanoma (lentigo maligna and lentigo maligna melanoma): Differences according to sex
Lentiginous melanoma is most common on the face, especially the nose, cheek, and pre-auricular areas, with men more likely to have it on the scalp, ears, upper back, and trapezius, and women on the cheek and anterior arm. Sun damage is a key factor in its formation.
research A Comprehensive Review on Skin Pigmentation-Types, Causes, and Treatment
Skin pigmentation varies due to genetics, UV exposure, and medications, with treatments available but requiring medical advice.
research Melanotrichoblastoma: A Histopathological Case Report of a Rare Pigmented Variant of Trichoblastoma
A rare pigmented skin tumor called melanotrichoblastoma was diagnosed in a 51-year-old woman.
research Melanocyte Stem Cell Maintenance and Hair Graying
Hair graying happens because certain cells aren't maintained properly.
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 Colourless side of the nude mutation: Foxn1 and hair pigmentation
Foxn1 is essential for hair pigmentation by directing pigment transfer to hair cells.
research 1339 Casein kinase 1 inhibition in keratinocytes enhances the migration of melanocyte precursors in the hair follicle via KitL/c-Kit signaling pathway
Blocking casein kinase 1 in skin cells can help melanocyte precursors move better, potentially helping with conditions like vitiligo or gray hair.
research Melatonin in the skin: synthesis, metabolism and functions
Melatonin in the skin helps protect against damage from stress and UV rays, and could be used to treat certain skin conditions.
research Skin precancer.
Sun exposure and genetics increase skin cancer risk from precancerous lesions.
research Lentiginous melanoma. A clinically malignant entity that histopathologically seems benign. Case study harbouring BRAF V 600R mutation
A clinically suspected melanoma appeared benign under the microscope but was confirmed by specific tests and a rare mutation.
