research Flexural Agminated Eruptive Nevi in Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis

Ectopic acanthosis nigricans can occur at surgical sites due to skin graft mismatches.
research Lipidomics Combined with Network Pharmacology to Explore Differences in the Mechanisms of Grey Hair Development Between Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Normal Populations (Female)
Altered lipid pathways in diabetic women may cause premature greying.
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 Developmental Genetics of Color Pattern Establishment in Cats
Gene expression, especially Dkk4, is key to cat color patterns.
research Predicting hair cortisol levels with hair pigmentation genes: a possible hair pigmentation bias
Darker hair may lead to higher cortisol readings, suggesting a need to adjust for hair color in studies.
research Synthesis of porcine pCLCA2 protein during late differentiation of keratinocytes of epidermis and hair follicle inner root sheath
pCLCA2 protein may help maintain skin structure and function.
research Betamethasone actives cultured amelanotic melanocytes derived from outer root sheath of human hair follicle
Betamethasone activates and increases the growth of certain skin cells from hair follicles.
research Down-regulation of Melanocortin Receptor Signaling Mediated by the Amino Terminus of Agouti Protein in XenopusMelanophores
Agouti protein affects melanocortin receptors through competitive antagonism and receptor down-regulation.
research [Effect of Tribulus terrestris extract on melanocyte-stimulating hormone expression in mouse hair follicles].
Tribulus terrestris extract significantly increases MSH expression and melanin production in mouse hair follicles.
research Nevus comedonicus in a Malay man: A case report and review of literature
A 25-year-old Malay fireman had skin bumps on his neck that were removed successfully after other treatments failed.
research Diagnostic utility of preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma immunohistochemistry in the evaluation of melanomas with a co-existent nevoid melanocytic population: A single-center retrospective cohort study
PRAME helps distinguish between benign and malignant skin cells in most cases.
research 42761 The elusive BAP1 mutation in pediatric melanocytic tumors
BAP1 mutations are rare in pediatric melanocytic tumors and may develop later in life.
research Viewpoint 3
Oxidative stress plays a significant role in vitiligo, and both skin and non-skin cells may be involved.
research Congenital Combined Melanocytic Nevus of the Scalp With Associated Alopecia Areata
A man with a birthmark on his scalp developed hair loss that improved with treatment, but the link between the birthmark and hair loss was unclear.
research Coat Color in Intact and Neurointermediate Lobe-Grafted Agouti Mice: Effect of Dopamine Agonists and Antagonists
Dopamine affects coat color changes in agouti mice.
research Synergistic delivery of ginseng exosomes and biomimetic melanosomes via temporally controlled hydrogel microneedles restrain the pathologic triad of vitiligo
The study presents a novel treatment for vitiligo using a hydrogel microneedle system that delivers ginseng-derived exosomes and biomimetic melanosomes to address oxidative stress, inflammation, and melanocyte deficiency. This system uses methacrylated hyaluronic acid microneedles for rapid release of polydopamine nanoparticles and glyceryl monostearate micelles for targeted exosome release. The treatment restores redox balance, suppresses inflammation, and promotes repigmentation by activating follicular stem cells and enhancing melanocyte and keratinocyte function. In murine models, significant repigmentation was observed within 3 weeks, demonstrating the potential of this biocompatible, self-adaptive approach for vitiligo therapy.
research Multiple skin tumours in a Doberman Pinscher with colour dilution alopecia
The Doberman had multiple skin tumors, but it's unclear if color dilution increased the risk.
research Characterization of Growth Secondary Hair in Min Pig Activated by Follicle Stem Cell Stimulated by Wnt and BMP Signaling Pathway
Wnt and BMP pathways stimulate hair growth in Min pigs, with Wnt being more effective.
research Scalp hair repigmentation in the penumbral region of radiotherapy– a case series
Radiotherapy can cause rare changes in hair color, which should be discussed with patients.
research Immunohistopathological analysis of frizzled-4-positive immature melanocytes from hair follicles of patients with Rhododenol-induced leukoderma
Rhododendrol in skin-whitening products can cause skin depigmentation and immune reactions.
research RAGE and Its Ligands in Melanoma
RAGE is a potential target for melanoma treatment, but its effectiveness is uncertain due to variable expression levels.
research The Processed Radish Extract Melanogenesis in Humans and Induces Anti-Photoaging Effects in Ultraviolet B-Induced Hairless Mouse Model
