research Prevalence and distribution of melanocytic naevi on the scalp: a prospective study
Moles on the scalp are more common in people with more body moles and atypical moles, but not linked to balding.
research Gene Expression Profiles of Melanocytes Over-Expressing miR-5110 in Alpaca
miR-5110 affects alpaca pigmentation by altering specific gene expressions.
research Melanocyte Stem Cell Maintenance and Hair Graying
Hair graying happens because certain cells aren't maintained properly.

Hedgehog pathway inhibitors could be effective in treating melanoma.
research All-trans retinoic acid induced the differentiation of amelanotic melanocytes of human hair follicle
All-trans retinoic acid helps amelanotic melanocytes in hair follicles develop and produce pigment while reducing their growth.
research Circulating testosterone and feather-gene expression of receptors and metabolic enzymes in relation to melanin-based colouration in the barn owl
Barn owls with smaller black spots have higher testosterone levels, which might be due to genetic effects on hormone regulation rather than hormone effects on coloration.

The Agouti gene influences pigmentation and may have a developmental role in deer mice.
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.
