research Melanocytes and Vitiligo (and Hair Graying)
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
research Biocompatible exosomes derived from Pinctada martensii mucus for therapeutic melanin regulation via α-MSH/NF-κB/MITF pathway
Exosomes from Pinctada martensii mucus can safely reduce melanin production, offering a new treatment for skin pigment issues.
research Increased PHGDH expression uncouples hair follicle cycle progression and promotes inappropriate melanin accumulation
Increased PHGDH expression causes early melanin buildup in hair follicles.
research 646 SOX4 is essential for melanoma tumorigenesis
SOX4 is crucial for the development of melanoma.
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 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 Changes in Different Melanocyte Populations During Hair Follicle Involution (Catagen)
Different melanocyte types in hair follicles either survive or die during the catagen phase.
research Site of beige (bg) and leaden (ln) pigment gene expression determined by recombinant embryonic skin grafts and aggregation mouse chimaeras employing sash (Wsh) homozygotes
Beige and leaden pigment genes act within melanocytes, affecting pigment patterns.
research Melanocyte stem cells in the skin: Origin, biological characteristics, homeostatic maintenance and therapeutic potential
Melanocyte stem cells are vital for skin and hair color and have potential in treating skin disorders and cancer.
research Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway activates melanocyte stem cells in vitro and in vivo
The Wnt/β-catenin pathway can activate melanocyte stem cells and may help regenerate hair follicles.
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.
research LB1672 Senescent melanocytes in nevus skin stimulate hair growth
Senescent melanocytes in nevus skin boost hair growth.
research Complications and Limitations of Melanocyte Transplantation
Melanocyte transplantation can safely restore skin color, especially in stable vitiligo, but must be chosen carefully based on the disease phase.
research 1339 Casein kinase 1 inhibition in keratinocytes enhances the migration of melanocyte precursors in the hair follicle via KitL/c-Kit signaling pathway
Blocking casein kinase 1 in skin cells can help melanocyte precursors move better, potentially helping with conditions like vitiligo or gray hair.
research Therapeutic Potential of Patient iPSC-Derived iMelanocytes in Autologous Transplantation
Patient-derived melanocytes can potentially treat vitiligo by restoring skin pigmentation.
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 Optimization of the method for the culture of melanocyte precursors from hair follicles and their activation by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3
1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 helps melanocyte precursors from hair follicles grow and produce melanin, aiding vitiligo treatment understanding.
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.
research Pharmacological BACE1 and BACE2 inhibition induces hair depigmentation by inhibiting PMEL17 processing in mice
Blocking BACE1 and BACE2 enzymes causes hair color loss in mice.
research Human dermal stem cells differentiate into functional epidermal melanocytes
Human dermal stem cells can become functional skin pigment cells.
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 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 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 Cyclic Nucleotides and the Mediation of Melatonin-induced Inhibition of Melanogenesis in Mammals
Melatonin stops melanin production after tyrosinase action, with cyclic GMP mimicking this effect.
research Topical application of synthetic melanin promotes tissue repair
Synthetic melanin applied to skin speeds up wound healing.
research Hair(y) Matters in Melanoma Biology
The document concludes that the immune-inhibitory environment of the hair follicle may prevent melanoma development.
research Direct cellular reprogramming enables development of viral T antigen–driven Merkel cell carcinoma in mice
Scientists made a mouse model of a serious skin cancer by changing skin cells with a virus and a specific gene, which is similar to the disease in humans.
research 780 Novel mechanism of UVB-mediated pigmentation through the axis of ATP-P2X7
Scientists discovered a new way UVB light increases skin pigmentation through the ATP-P2X7 pathway.
research 457 Impact of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone on mitochondrial function in human dermal fibroblasts
