research Downregulation of nuclear factor-kappaB activation in human keratinocytes by melanogenesis inhibitors
Melanogenesis inhibitors like kojic acid and niacinamide can reduce inflammation and pigment production in skin cells.
research 137 Loss of myeloid Mcpip1 suppresses hair growth and development of epidermal papilloma of the skin
Removing MCPIP1 from myeloid cells in mice leads to hair loss and prevents skin tumors but causes pigmented spots.
research Hair and nail disorders
Hair and nail disorders can cause changes in scalp pigmentation, especially with sun exposure and alopecia.
