210-240 / 1000+ results 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.
research Hair Melanin and Hair Color
research A novel mouse model demonstrates that oncogenic melanocyte stem cells engender melanoma resembling human disease
Oncogenic melanocyte stem cells can develop into melanoma similar to human cases.
research The chemokine SDF-1/CXCL12 regulates the migration of melanocyte progenitors in mouse hair follicles
SDF-1/CXCL12 and its receptor CXCR4 are crucial for melanocyte movement in mouse hair follicles.
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 The Hair Pigmentation Unit and Hair Graying
Hair color is determined by melanins produced in hair cells.
research Melanocytes and Vitiligo (and Hair Graying)
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
research Pimecrolimus increases the melanogenesis and migration of melanocytes in vitro
Pimecrolimus boosts melanin production and movement of skin pigment cells.
research Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling controls hair pigmentation by means of cross-talk with the melanocortin receptor-1 pathway
BMP signaling affects hair color by interacting with the MC-1R pathway.
research Melanoma: Genetic Abnormalities, Tumor Progression, Clonal Evolution and Tumor Initiating Cells
Melanoma's complexity requires personalized treatments due to key genetic mutations and tumor-initiating cells.
research Subungual melanocytic lesions
Early subungual melanoma might be treated with less aggressive surgery because it invades the skin under the nail more slowly.
research A rare repigmentation pattern in a vitiligo patient: a clue to an epidermal stem-cell reservoir of melanocytes?
Repigmentation in vitiligo may come from melanocyte stem cells in the skin.
research A rare case of pigmented nodular alopecic lesion on the scalp
A man had a rare pigmented nodule on his scalp that developed from birthmarks.
research Localized Hair Repigmentation in a 91-Year-Old Woman
A 91-year-old woman's hair turned black in one spot, with skin changes underneath.
research Preservation of melanoblasts of white hair follicles of segmental vitiligo lesions: A preliminary study
White hair follicles in vitiligo have fewer and less functional melanocytes.
research Molecular heterogeneity of quiescent melanocyte stem cells revealed by single‐cell RNA ‐sequencing
Different types of resting melanocyte stem cells have unique characteristics and vary in their potential to become other cells.
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 1233 Exploring the role of melanocyte subpopulations in vitiligo
A specific group of early-stage melanocytes is reduced in vitiligo-affected skin, which may explain treatment resistance.
research Extradermal melanin transfer? Lack of macroscopic spleen melanization in old C57BL/6 mice with de-synchronized hair cycle.
Old C57BL/6 mice with unsynchronized hair cycles show less melanin in their spleens.
research Origin, Clinical Presentation, and Diagnosis of Facial Hypermelanoses
Facial dark spots can be caused by the sun, genetics, makeup, or medicine, and are diagnosed by patient history and skin tests.
research Herbal insights into melanin synthesis: Enhancing hair health naturally
Melanin is important for hair color, health, and UV protection.
research Therapeutic Potential of Patient iPSC-Derived iMelanocytes in Autologous Transplantation
Patient-derived melanocytes can potentially treat vitiligo by restoring skin pigmentation.
research Electron Microscope Studies of the Human Epidermis The Clear Cell of Masson (Dendritic Cell or Melanocyte)
A unique skin cell similar to hair bulb melanocytes was identified, with better preservation using permanganate fixation.
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 LB1031 Immune Cell-Mediated Amplification of Stem Cell Activation in Hairy Melanocytic Nevus via Osteopontin-CD44 Axis
Immune cells boost stem cell activity in hairy moles, causing more hair growth.
research Hair development and Langerhans cell migration during human embryogenesis
Langerhans cells and melanocytes migrate to the skin and hair follicles during early human development.
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 The anatomical distribution of lentiginous melanoma (lentigo maligna and lentigo maligna melanoma): Differences according to sex
Lentiginous melanoma is most common on the face, especially the nose, cheek, and pre-auricular areas, with men more likely to have it on the scalp, ears, upper back, and trapezius, and women on the cheek and anterior arm. Sun damage is a key factor in its formation.
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.
