420-450 / 1000+ resultsresearch Histopathologic Findings of Cutaneous Hyperpigmentation in Addison Disease and Immunostain of the Melanocytic Population
The study found increased skin pigmentation and variable melanocyte density in a patient with Addison's disease.
research Desmoplastic melanoma presenting as primary alopecia neoplastica: a report of two cases
Two women were diagnosed with a rare melanoma that looked like hair loss but was actually a type of skin cancer.
research Platelet-derived growth factor regulates the proliferation and differentiation of human melanocytes in a differentiation-stage-specific manner
PDGF-BB helps young melanocytes grow but stops mature ones from growing, and it makes melanocytes more specialized.
research Exosomal miR ‐199a‐3p From Dermal Papilla Cells Regulates Hair Follicle Pigmentation by Targeting POU2F1 in Melanocytes
Exosomal miR-199a-3p from dermal papilla cells helps control hair color by affecting melanocytes.
research Epidermal and Hair Follicle Progenitor Cells Express Melanoma-Associated Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan Core Protein

research Molecular pathology of skin adnexal tumours
New markers and pathways have been found in skin tumors, helping better understand and diagnose them.
research Perifollicular Melanocyte Regeneration in Bullous Pemphigoid
Melanocytes can regenerate around hair follicles in bullous pemphigoid, especially in patients with darker skin.
research BMI1 is required for melanocyte stem cell maintenance and hair pigmentation
BMI1 is essential for preventing hair greying and maintaining hair color.
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 BH05 (P049) Best foot forward: awareness of melanoma of the foot among podiatrists

research 014 Non-melanoma skin cancer in skin of color: Cases of mistaken identity
Non-melanoma skin cancer in darker-skinned people can be misdiagnosed, so doctors need to be more aware to diagnose it correctly and early.
research Observation of cultured amelanotic melanocytes from hair follicles by atomic force microscopy
Amelanotic melanocytes from hair follicles are immature and likely don't transfer melanosomes to keratinocytes.
