360-390 / 1000+ resultsresearch Reprogramming of three-dimensional microenvironments for in vitro hair follicle induction
Reprogramming 3D environments can create hair follicles in the lab.
research Does Nicastrin Inadequacy Cause Melanocytotoxicity in Human Skin as in the Fish Counterpart?
Nicastrin deficiency may cause skin cell damage and pigmentation disorders in humans, similar to effects seen in fish.
research Location and fine structure of melanocytes in human fetal scalp hair follicles.
Melanocytes in the outer root sheath are likely stem cells that grow fast but stay immature.
research Beyond the Epidermal-Melanin-Unit: The Human Scalp Anagen Hair Bulb Is Home to Multiple Melanocyte Subpopulations of Variable Melanogenic Capacity
The human scalp has different types of pigment cells in hair follicles with varying abilities to produce pigment.
research 512 Varicella-zoster virus in actively spreading segmental vitiligo skin
The study suggests a link between varicella-zoster virus and segmental vitiligo, with evidence of the virus disrupting skin pigment cells.
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 Human hair melanins: what we have learned and have not learned from mouse coat color pigmentation
We know a lot about mouse hair color, but not much about human hair color differences.
research Colour Dilution Alopecia (CDA) in Ten yorkshire Terriers
Yorkshire Terriers with Colour Dilution Alopecia have reduced melanin and hair structure issues.
research Giant pigmented tumour of the scalp—a diffuse neurofibroma or a congenital naevus showing neurofibromatous changes? Immunohistochemical and electron microscopic studies
The tumor likely shows dual neural crest differentiation.
research The Effect of Ruby Laser Light on Cellular Proliferation of Epidermal Cells
Ruby laser hair removal does not cause increased cell growth in the skin.
research Human hair melanins: what we have learned and have not learned from mouse coat color pigmentation
We know less about human hair pigmentation than mouse coat color, but pH and cysteine levels are key factors.
research Impact of constant light exposure during pregnancy on skin of neonatal New Zealand rabbits: structural and ultrastructural study
Constant light exposure during pregnancy changes newborn rabbits' skin, affecting hair follicles, skin thickness, and pigment cells.
research Activity evaluation of epidermo-melanin unit and dermal damage in melasma
Melasma results from changes in the skin's pigment and structure, not just pigment cell growth.
research An approach to disorders of pigmentation
The document concludes that pigmentation disorders in animals involve complex interactions between melanocytes and keratinocytes.
research Mechanism of cannabinoid incorporation in hair
Cannabinoids like THC and THCA get into hair through skin oils, not hair color.
research The Hair Pigmentation Unit and Hair Graying
Hair color is due to active pigment cells in hair during growth.
research Morphologic comparison of cultured human epidermis melanocytes,amelanotic melanocytes from hair follicles and mouse melanoma cells observed by atomic force microscope
Melanin granules can be expelled by exocytosis.
research The Hair Pigmentation Unit and Hair Graying
Hair color is determined by melanins produced in hair cells.
