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 Change in Hair Color in Mice Induced by Injection of α-MSH
Injecting α-MSH made mice's hair turn black.
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.
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 Decision letter: Crosstalk with keratinocytes causes GNAQ oncogene specificity in melanoma
The microenvironment affects the behavior and survival of melanocytes with the GNAQ oncogene in melanoma.
research The cell biology of human hair follicle pigmentation
We need more research on human hair follicle pigmentation, not just mouse models.

Different melanocyte types in hair follicles either survive or die during the catagen phase.
research Extradermal melanin transfer? Lack of macroscopic spleen melanization in old C57BL/6 mice with de-synchronized hair cycle.
Old C57BL/6 mice with unsynchronized hair cycles show less melanin in their spleens.
research The Suppression Effects of Fat Mass and Obesity Associated Gene on the Hair Follicle-Derived Neural Crest Stem Cells Differentiating into Melanocyte by N6-Methyladenosine Modifying Microphthalmia-Associated Transcription Factor
The FTO gene hinders stem cells in hair follicles from becoming pigment cells.
research Non-pigmentary actions of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone--lessons from the cutaneous melanocortin system.
Alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone helps manage skin inflammation and protect against UV damage.

The conclusion is that Pigmented Epithelioid Melanocytoma can start from hair follicle stem cells or from a mole on the skin.
research Associations between sun sensitive pigmentary genes and serum prostate specific antigen levels
Men with less sun-sensitive skin have lower PSA levels, while men with more sun-sensitive skin have higher PSA levels.
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 MITF E318K naevus phenotype: the modifying role of MC1R Red Hair Variants
research The ‘melanocyte-keratin’ mystery revisited: neither normal human epidermal nor hair follicle melanocytes express keratin 16 or keratin 6in situ
Human melanocytes in skin and hair follicles don't express keratin 16 or 6 naturally.
research A Study on Melatonin Receptor Genes Expression in Embryonic Goose Skin Feather Follicles
Melatonin receptor genes likely play an important role in the development of goose feather follicles.
research 1272 p21Waf1/Cip1 is differentially expressed in epidermal versus follicular melanocytes and melanoma cells and is phenotypically regulated by UVB-mediated apoptosis
The protein p21 is more abundant in normal skin cells than in melanoma cells and may help protect against melanoma, with UVB light affecting its levels.
