research Melanocytes and Vitiligo (and Hair Graying)
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
research Revisiting the role of melatonin in human melanocyte physiology: A skin context perspective
Melatonin affects skin and hair color and protects skin cells, with potential benefits for hair growth and skin health.
research Melanocyte stem cells: a melanocyte reservoir in hair follicles for hair and skin pigmentation
Melanocyte stem cells in hair follicles are key for hair color and could help treat greying and pigment disorders.
research Serotoninergic and melatoninergic systems are fully expressed in human skin
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin.
research Epidermal cells: methods and protocols
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 Melanocyte Chitosan/Gelatin Composite Fabrication with Human Outer Root Sheath-Derived Cells to Produce Pigment
The technique can isolate cells to help treat skin pigmentation issues.
research Dyeing regions of oxidative hair dyes in human hair investigated by nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry
Hair dye colors mainly target melanin granules in black hair.
research Influence of Depigmenting Chemical Agents on Hair and Skin Color in Yellow (Pheomelanic) and Black (Eumelanic) Mice
Certain chemicals cause hair graying in black mice but not yellow mice.
research Pimecrolimus increases the melanogenesis and migration of melanocytes in vitro
Pimecrolimus boosts melanin production and movement of skin pigment cells.
research Human skin color: Origin, variation and significance
Human skin and hair color variation is mainly due to melanin produced by a few genes, with melanin protecting against sun damage.
research Melatonin - A Cutaneous Perspective
Melatonin is good for skin health and may help treat skin conditions.
research Hair(y) Matters in Melanoma Biology
The document concludes that the immune-inhibitory environment of the hair follicle may prevent melanoma development.
research The distribution of melanocytes and the degradation of melanosomes in fetal hair follicles
Fetal hair follicles have melanocytes with melanosomes at different stages, which are broken down into pigment particles in keratinocytes.
research 568 Novel synthetic melanin nanoparticles improve skin wound healing
research Spectrum of Phenotypes Associated with Human MC1R Variations
MC1R gene variations affect skin, hair color, UV sensitivity, and melanoma risk.
research Two novel CreERT2 transgenic mouse lines to study melanocytic cells in vivo
New mouse models help study melanocytic cells for melanoma research.
research Repigmentation through Melanocyte Regeneration in Vitiligo
UV light can help stimulate the growth of new pigment cells from hair follicles in people with vitiligo.
research Change in Hair Color in Mice Induced by Injection of α-MSH
Injecting α-MSH made mice's hair turn black.
research GENOTYPE ? PHENOTYPE CORRELATIONS IN CUTANEOUS MELANOMA PATIENTS CARRIER OF THE MITF p.E318K PATHOGENIC VARIANT
MITF+ melanoma patients are more likely to have multiple melanomas and unique skin patterns.
research An approach to disorders of pigmentation
The document concludes that pigmentation disorders in animals involve complex interactions between melanocytes and keratinocytes.
research Culture of amelanotic melanocytes derived from human fetal hair follicles
Melanocytes from human fetal hair follicles were successfully cultured, showing potential for hair disease research and clinical use.
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 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 Identification of hair shaft progenitors that create a niche for hair pigmentation
Scientists found cells in hair that are key for growth and color.
research Melanin Light Absorption as the Necessary but Not Sufficient Condition for Photoepilation: Miniaturization and Eclipse Phenomena
Melanin absorbing light is necessary but not enough for effective hair removal by light treatment.
research Colourless side of the nude mutation: Foxn1 and hair pigmentation
Foxn1 is essential for hair pigmentation by directing pigment transfer to hair cells.
research Sox2 in the dermal papilla regulates hair follicle pigmentation
Sox2 controls hair color by affecting pigment production in hair follicles.
research Tribuloside acts on the PDE/cAMP/PKA pathway to enhance melanogenesis, melanocyte dendricity and melanosome transport
Tribuloside can increase skin pigmentation by enhancing melanin production and distribution.
