330-360 / 1000+ results research Human hair melanins: what we have learned and have not learned from mouse coat color pigmentation
We know less about human hair pigmentation than mouse coat color, but pH and cysteine levels are key factors.
research Human hair melanins: what we have learned and have not learned from mouse coat color pigmentation
We know a lot about mouse hair color, but not much about human hair color differences.
research 890 Development of pigmented reconstructed human epidermis model containing human melanoblasts from keratinocyte culture
The created skin model with melanoblasts improves the study of skin color and offers an alternative to animal testing.
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 Role of Dermal Factors Involved in Regulating the Melanin and Melanogenesis of Mammalian Melanocytes in Normal and Abnormal Skin
Dermal factors are crucial in regulating melanin production in skin.
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 1200 The biology of melanocytes
Melanocytes are cells that make skin and hair color and help protect skin from sun damage.
research Functionally distinct melanocyte populations revealed by reconstitution of hair follicles in mice
Only skin melanocytes, not other types, can color hair in mice.
research Activity evaluation of epidermo-melanin unit and dermal damage in melasma
Melasma results from changes in the skin's pigment and structure, not just pigment cell growth.
research 646 SOX4 is essential for melanoma tumorigenesis
SOX4 is crucial for the development of melanoma.
research Classic versus non‐classic: A survival Kit for life in the skin
Melanocytes in different body areas have evolved to perform specific functions based on their location.
research GENOTYPE ? PHENOTYPE CORRELATIONS IN CUTANEOUS MELANOMA PATIENTS CARRIER OF THE MITF p.E318K PATHOGENIC VARIANT
MITF+ melanoma patients are more likely to have multiple melanomas and unique skin patterns.
research Melanocyte progenitor cells reside in human subcutaneous adipose tissue
Melanocyte progenitor cells are found in human fat tissue and can become mature melanocytes, which may help treat skin issues.
research 1229 Melanocyte cell states defined and visualized in developing mouse skin
Researchers found three types of melanocytes in developing mouse skin, each with different genes and locations.
research Melanocytes and Vitiligo (and Hair Graying)
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
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.

Mouse melanocyte structure and function are influenced by genetics, hormones, and environmental factors.
research The Hair Pigmentation Unit and Hair Graying
Hair color is determined by melanins produced in hair cells.
research Piecing together the pigment-type switching puzzle
The document concludes that MGRN1 affects mouse fur color by interfering with a receptor's signaling, but its full role in the body is still unknown.
