research Chemically Induced Depigmentation of Skin and Hair
Some chemicals can permanently or temporarily remove color from skin and hair, which can be distressing and is not well-regulated in cosmetics.
research Pathologic Quiz Case: A 69-Year-Old Man With a Brown-Black Facial Papule
A rare benign skin growth called melanocytic matricoma was identified in a 69-year-old man.
research Does Nicastrin Inadequacy Cause Melanocytotoxicity in Human Skin as in the Fish Counterpart?
Nicastrin deficiency may cause skin cell damage and pigmentation disorders in humans, similar to effects seen in fish.
research Topical application of synthetic melanin promotes tissue repair
Synthetic melanin applied to skin speeds up wound healing.
research Melanoma prognosis in the United States: A state-based analysis of associated factors
Melanoma survival rates vary by state and are better where incomes are higher, more people have health insurance and education, and there are more dermatologists.
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 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 Increased PHGDH expression uncouples hair follicle cycle progression and promotes inappropriate melanin accumulation
Increased PHGDH expression causes early melanin buildup in hair follicles.
research Skin Pigmentation Types, Causes and Treatment—A Review
Skin pigmentation varies due to genetics, UV exposure, and drugs, with treatments available but requiring medical advice.
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 Melanogenesis During the Anagen-Catagen-Telogen Transformation of the Murine Hair Cycle
Hair stops producing melanin as it transitions from the growth phase to the resting phase.
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 Role of Dermal Melanocytes in Cutaneous Pigmentation of Stasis Dermatitis
Melanin and melanocytes contribute to the brown pigmentation in stasis dermatitis.
research Targeted therapy in melanoma
New treatments for advanced skin cancer are improving patient outcomes, but drug resistance and finding the right treatment combinations are still big challenges.
research Quercetin stimulates melanogenesis in hair follicle melanocyte of the mouse.
Quercetin boosts melanin production in mouse hair follicles.
research A preliminary study of markers for human hair follicle melanin stem cell
Researchers identified potential markers for human hair color stem cells.

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 Optimization of the method for the culture of melanocyte precursors from hair follicles and their activation by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3
1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 helps melanocyte precursors from hair follicles grow and produce melanin, aiding vitiligo treatment understanding.
research Complications and Limitations of Melanocyte Transplantation
Melanocyte transplantation can safely restore skin color, especially in stable vitiligo, but must be chosen carefully based on the disease phase.
research Skin Cancer: Mechanisms and Human Relevance
Skin cancer involves complex mechanisms, risk factors, and can be potentially prevented with strategies like dietary changes and certain compounds.
research Coloration in Equine: Overview of Candidate Genes Associated with Coat Color Phenotypes
Genes like MC1R, TYR, MITF, ASIP, and KIT determine horse and donkey coat colors and affect breeding and health.
research Towards a “free radical theory of graying”: melanocyte apoptosis in the aging human hair follicle is an indicator of oxidative stress induced tissue damage
Oxidative stress causes hair to gray by damaging and killing pigment cells.
