300-330 / 1000+ resultsresearch Retinoids Modulate MITF: A Novel Mechanism in the Regulation of Melanogenesis - eScholarship
Retinoids can help treat skin pigmentation disorders by affecting melanin production.
research Retinoids Modulate MITF: A Novel Mechanism in the Regulation of Melanogenesis
Retinoids or their analogs could treat skin pigmentation disorders like melasma and vitiligo.
research Combined melanocytic nevus presenting with scalp alopecia associated with alopecia areata: Coincidence or causal?
A man's scalp hair loss was due to a combined melanocytic nevus and alopecia areata, suggesting a possible link between the two conditions.
research Nevus comedonicus
Nevus comedonicus is a rare skin condition with grouped open pores, sometimes linked to other body issues.
research Hair Repigmentation as a Melanoma Warning Sign
Hair turning darker can be a sign of skin cancer.
research 457 Impact of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone on mitochondrial function in human dermal fibroblasts
Alpha-MSH affects mitochondrial function, and MC1R mutations may increase skin aging.
research A cross-sectional study of clinical, dermoscopic, histopathological, and molecular patterns of scalp melanoma in patients with or without androgenetic alopecia
Scalp melanoma is more common and easier to diagnose early in people with androgenetic alopecia due to sun damage.
research Microphthalmic-associated transcription factor integrates melanocyte biology and melanoma progression.
Mitf plays a key role in melanoma progression and is linked to disease stage.
research Nestin is expressed in HMB‐45 negative melanoma cells in dermal parts of nodular melanoma
Nestin helps identify certain melanoma cells in nodular melanoma.
research Splenic melanosis during normal murine C57BL/6 hair cycle and after chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy reduces splenic melanin in mice.
research Clinical Snippets
New findings suggest potential treatments for melanoma, hyperpigmentation, hair defects, and multiple sclerosis, and show skin microbiome changes don't cause atopic dermatitis.
research Stem cell factor combined with matrix proteins promotes attachment and migration of amelanotic melanocyte from human follicle hair
Stem cell factor and certain proteins help melanocytes from hair follicles move and attach better, aiding vitiligo repigmentation.
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 Trans glutaminase-mediated cross-linking in mammalian epidermis
research Subclinical speckled perifollicular melanosis of the scalp.
The scalp has a natural speckled pattern of increased pigment around hair follicles, possibly linked to local hormone production.
research A human serum‐enriched medium formulation supports high viability and marker expression in primary melanocyte cultures from the outer root sheath and epidermis
A human serum-enriched medium effectively supports melanocyte growth and activity without using animal-derived supplements.
research Characterization of the serotoninergic system in the C57BL/6 mouse skin
Mouse skin can produce and process serotonin, with variations depending on hair cycle, body location, and mouse strain.
research Melanin Pigmentary Disorders: Treatment Update
Treatments for melanin disorders exist, but more effective options needed.
research Atrichia with papular lesions resulting from mutations in the rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) hairless gene
Mutations in the hairless gene cause hair loss and skin cysts in rhesus macaques.
research Rippled‐pattern trichomatricoma
A unique hair tumor with a rippled pattern was identified, showing incomplete differentiation and unusual cell arrangements.
research El currículum educativo garantiza el deporte como derecho a la educación
Melanocyte stem cells can become melanoma, resembling human melanoma.
research Pigmented Rings With Central Clearing: A Dermoscopic Feature of Melasma
Pigmented rings with central clearing help diagnose melasma more accurately.
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 890 Development of pigmented reconstructed human epidermis model containing human melanoblasts from keratinocyte culture
The created skin model with melanoblasts improves the study of skin color and offers an alternative to animal testing.
research A Mosaic Hotspot PLCD1 Variant, Detectable in Blood‐Derived DNA , Associated With Nevus Trichilemmocysticus
A rare genetic variant linked to skin cysts was found in blood DNA, suggesting its role in cyst formation.
research Multiple Myeloma–Associated Amyloidosis Presenting With Acrolocalized Acquired Cutis Laxa
A man with rare skin changes on his fingers was diagnosed with multiple myeloma-linked amyloidosis.
research Transduction‐induced overexpression of Merkel cell T antigens in human hair follicles induces formation of pathological cell clusters with Merkel cell carcinoma‐like phenotype
Overexpressing Merkel cell virus proteins in human hair follicles can create clusters of cells that resemble Merkel cell cancer.
research Desmoplastic melanoma presenting as primary alopecia neoplastica: a report of two cases
Two women were diagnosed with a rare melanoma that looked like hair loss but was actually a type of skin cancer.
research 458 UVB-induced facultative pigmentation is associated with distinct DNA methylation changes
Tanning ability is linked to specific DNA changes in skin genes.
