research Identifying the Target Cells and Mechanisms of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Infection
Human dermal fibroblasts are the main cells targeted by a virus that can cause a deadly skin cancer, and a certain inhibitor can effectively block this infection.
research Melatonin-induced inhibition of melanogenesis in hair follicles in vitro [proceedings].
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 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 Somatic mutations distinguish melanocyte subpopulations in human skin
Hair follicles protect melanocytes from sun damage, helping them replenish skin.
research Perifollicular Melanocyte Regeneration in Bullous Pemphigoid
Melanocytes can regenerate around hair follicles in bullous pemphigoid, especially in patients with darker skin.
research Regulation of melanin synthesis in goat hair follicles by melatonin through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway
research Coming of Age of Melanogenesis-Related Proteins
Tyrosinase and gp100 proteins can help diagnose and treat melanoma.
research INTERACTION OF α-MELANOCYTE-STIMULATING HORMONE, MELATONIN, CYCLIC AMP AND CYCLIC GMP IN THE CONTROL OF MELANOGENESIS IN HAIR FOLLICLE MELANOCYTES IN VITRO
α-MSH and cyclic AMP boost melanin production, while cyclic GMP and melatonin reduce it.
research Protective effect of a novel metal-phenolic network composite against ultraviolet-induced skin damage by modulating MAPK/AP-1/NF-κB signaling pathways and attenuating oxidative stress in human keratinocytes
Melamax® protects skin from UV damage and reduces inflammation and oxidative stress.
research Spatiotemporal Labeling of Melanocytes in Mice
The research showed how melanocytes develop, move, and respond to UV light, and their stem cells' role in hair color and skin cancer risk.
research Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase/Akt-Dependent and -Independent Protection Against Apoptosis in Normal Human Melanocytes
Normal human melanocytes can avoid cell death through multiple pathways.
research Dormant tumor cells in ret transgenic mouse melanoma model and their interaction with memory T cells
Dormant melanoma cells in mice interact minimally with memory T cells due to a suppressive tumor environment.
research Targeted therapy in melanoma
New treatments for advanced skin cancer are improving patient outcomes, but drug resistance and finding the right treatment combinations are still big challenges.
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 LB1672 Senescent melanocytes in nevus skin stimulate hair growth
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.
research The transdermal inhibition of melanogenesis by a cell-membrane-permeable peptide delivery system based on poly-arginine
A new skin-whitening agent using a peptide from wheat is safe and effective at reducing skin pigmentation.
research Any route for melanoblasts to colonize the skin!
Melanoblasts migrate to the skin using various pathways, and understanding this process could help with skin disease research.
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 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 DP18 A mimicker of melanoma on sun-exposed sites
Melanocytic matricoma can look like skin cancer but is usually harmless; surgery and follow-up are advised.
research Molecular Regulation of Melanocyte Senescence
The article concludes that while we understand a lot about how melanocytes age and how this can prevent cancer, there are still unanswered questions about certain pathways and genes involved.
research Melanogenesis is coupled to murine anagen: Toward new concepts for the role of melanocytes and the regulation of melanogenesis in hair growth
Hair color production in mice is closely linked to the hair growth phase and may also influence hair growth itself.
research Keratinocyte Cytokine Networks Associated with Human Melanocytic Nevus Development
Keratinocyte cytokines and genetic variations influence the development of moles and skin pigmentation.
