research 1200 The biology of melanocytes
Melanocytes are cells that make skin and hair color and help protect skin from sun damage.
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 Regulation of melanin synthesis in goat hair follicles by melatonin through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway
research Loss of ‘Epidermal Melanin Unit’ Integrity in Human Skin During Melanoma-Genesis
Melanoma development can be linked to the breakdown of skin's melanin-producing units.
research Inducible cre-mediated N-ras activation and PTEN inactivation in transgenic mouse melanocytes requires keratinocyte hyperplasia to elicit a melanocyte pathology
Melanocyte pathology requires keratinocyte hyperplasia and regulation dysfunction.
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 is closely linked to the active growth phase of hair in mice and may also influence hair growth itself.
research Exosomal miR-222-3p derived from dermal papilla cells inhibits melanogenesis in melanocytes by targeting SOX10 in rabbits
Exosomal miR-222-3p reduces melanin production in rabbits by targeting the SOX10 gene.
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 Direct conversion of mouse and human fibroblasts to functional melanocytes by defined factors
Fibroblasts can be turned into melanocytes for potential skin treatments.
research 1360 Regulation of bmp signalling in melanogenesis, pigment transfer and melanocyte migration
BMP signaling is important for skin color, affecting melanin production, pigment spread, and cell movement.
research Melanocyte Subpopulation Turnover During the Human Hair Cycle: An Immunohistochemical Study
Melanocyte activity in hair follicles is linked to the hair growth cycle, being active in growth phases and inactive in rest phases.
research Functionally distinct melanocyte populations revealed by reconstitution of hair follicles in mice
Only skin melanocytes, not other types, can color hair in mice.
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 Melanoblasts' Proper Location and Timed Differentiation Depend on Notch/RBP-J Signaling in Postnatal Hair Follicles
Notch/RBP-J signaling is crucial for proper placement and timing of melanocyte development in hair follicles.
research Melanocytes in Human Embryonic and Fetal Skin: A Review and New Findings
Melanocytes appear in fetal skin early, but their development details are still unclear.
