research Supplementary Material for: Life of the B10 mouse: a view from the hair follicles and tissue stem cells
Mouse skin and hair aging starts at 200 days, with changes in hair follicles and more white hairs as signs of aging.
research Increased PHGDH expression promotes aberrant melanin accumulation
Higher PHGDH levels cause unusual melanin buildup in hair follicles.
research 1250 Development of an ex vivo human skin explant model to examine candidate gene functions in the hair follicle and epidermis
The model can effectively test gene functions and drug responses in human skin.
research Complications and Limitations of Melanocyte Transplantation
Melanocyte transplantation can safely restore skin color, especially in stable vitiligo, but must be chosen carefully based on the disease phase.
research Early skin seeding regulatory T cells modulate PPARγ-dependent skin pigmentation
Early regulatory T cells are crucial for normal skin pigmentation.
research BMP4 regulates differentiation of nestin-positive stem cells into melanocytes
BMP4 helps stem cells turn into pigment-producing cells, affecting hair color and growth.
research Melanocytes from the outer root sheath of human hair and epidermal melanocytes display improved melanotic features in the niche provided by cGEL, oligomer-cross-linked gelatin-based hydrogel
cGEL hydrogel improves melanin production in skin cells, making it a promising option for skin treatments.
research Clinical Snippets
Some cells may slow melanoma growth, a protein could affect skin pigmentation, a gene-silencing method might treat hair defects, skin bacteria changes likely result from eczema, and a defensin protein could help treat multiple sclerosis.
research 1233 Exploring the role of melanocyte subpopulations in vitiligo
A specific group of early-stage melanocytes is reduced in vitiligo-affected skin, which may explain treatment resistance.
research Critical Stages of Hair Development and Pigmentation in the Mouse
Hair growth and pigmentation in mice involve specific stages crucial for research.
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 Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling controls hair pigmentation by means of cross-talk with the melanocortin receptor-1 pathway
BMP signaling affects hair color by interacting with the MC-1R pathway.
research Pathologic Quiz Case: A 69-Year-Old Man With a Brown-Black Facial Papule
A rare benign skin growth called melanocytic matricoma was identified in a 69-year-old man.
research Author response: Dynamics of nevus development implicate cell cooperation in the growth arrest of transformed melanocytes
Moles may stop growing because of cell cooperation, not just because of aging cells.
research Effect of Sun exposure-induced ferroptosis mechanisms on pathology and potential biological processes of primary melanoma by microarray data analysis
Enhancing CD8+ T cell function to induce ferroptosis in tumor cells may help treat skin melanoma.
research Splenic melanosis during normal murine C57BL/6 hair cycle and after chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy reduces splenic melanin in mice.
research 1339 Casein kinase 1 inhibition in keratinocytes enhances the migration of melanocyte precursors in the hair follicle via KitL/c-Kit signaling pathway
Blocking casein kinase 1 in skin cells can help melanocyte precursors move better, potentially helping with conditions like vitiligo or gray hair.
research Perifollicular Melanocyte Regeneration in Bullous Pemphigoid
Melanocytes can regenerate around hair follicles in bullous pemphigoid, especially in patients with darker skin.
research The cell biology of human hair follicle pigmentation
We need more research on human hair follicle pigmentation, not just mouse models.
research ‘Malignant melanoma microecosystem’: Immunohistopathological insights into the stromal cell phenotype
Stromal cells in melanoma promote tumor growth and spread.
![[4-t-Butylphenyl]-N-(4-imidazol-1-yl phenyl)sulfonamide (ISCK03) Inhibits SCF/c-kit Signaling in 501mel Human Melanoma Cells and Abolishes Melanin Production in Mice and Brownish Guinea Pigs](/images/assets/4eb017dc-711d-4926-bcd0-c3b8f48e3a99/small/19974.jpg)
research [4-t-Butylphenyl]-N-(4-imidazol-1-yl phenyl)sulfonamide (ISCK03) inhibits SCF/c-kit signaling in 501mel human melanoma cells and abolishes melanin production in mice and brownish guinea pigs
ISCK03 stops melanin production in human melanoma cells and lightens skin color in mice and guinea pigs.
research Pigmented Epithelioid Melanocytoma (PEM)/Animal Type Melanoma (ATM): Quest for an Origin. Report of One Unusual Case Indicating Follicular Origin and Another Arising in an Intradermal Nevus
The conclusion is that Pigmented Epithelioid Melanocytoma can start from hair follicle stem cells or from a mole on the skin.
