research 516 Dynein is involved in the movement, distribution, acidity, and transfer of melanosomes
Dynlt3 is important for melanosome transport and skin coloration.
research Distribution of Glycolipid and Unsaturated Fatty Acids in Human Hair
Human hair has more unsaturated fats inside than on the surface, and certain lipids may help bind the outer and inner layers together.
research Variation in human hair ultrastructure among three biogeographic populations
Different populations have distinct hair structures related to their ancestry.
research The Trotter collection: A review of Mildred Trotter 's hair research and an update for studies of human variation
Hair traits vary widely and are not reliable indicators of ancestry.
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 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.
research Epimedium brevicornum Maxim. Extract exhibits pigmentation by melanin biosynthesis and melanosome biogenesis/transfer
Epimedium extract helps increase skin pigmentation and could be a new treatment for conditions with reduced pigmentation.
research The silver locus product (Silv/gp100/Pmel17) as a new tool for the analysis of melanosome transfer in human melanocyte–keratinocyte co‐culture
The new assay can track and measure melanosome transfer between skin cells, confirming filopodia's role in this process.
research Expression and tissue distribution analysis of vimentin and transthyretin proteins associated with coat colors in sheep (Ovis aries)
Vimentin and transthyretin proteins are linked to black coat color in sheep.
research HGF/SF Increases Number of Skin Melanocytes but Does Not Alter Quality or Quantity of Follicular Melanogenesis
HGF/SF increases skin melanocytes but doesn't change melanin type or amount.
research Melanocytes and Vitiligo (and Hair Graying)
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
research Hair follicle-derived epithelial sheet has potential in vitiligo treatment
Hair follicle-derived sheets can effectively treat vitiligo by repigmenting skin.
research Hair removal using an Nd: YAG laser system.
Nd:YAG laser can reduce hair with multiple treatments, but permanent removal isn't guaranteed.
research Tyrosinase Depletion Prevents the Maturation of Melanosomes in the Mouse Hair Follicle
Reducing Tyrosinase prevents mature color pigment cells from forming in mouse hair.
research Skin melanocytes: biology and development
The paper concludes that understanding melanocyte development can help in insights into skin diseases and melanoma diversity.
research Pharmacological BACE1 and BACE2 inhibition induces hair depigmentation by inhibiting PMEL17 processing in mice
Blocking BACE1 and BACE2 enzymes causes hair color loss in mice.
research <p>Asian Hair: A Review of Structures, Properties, and Distinctive Disorders</p>
Asian hair is generally straight and thick, with unique disorders and properties, and more research is needed to understand it fully.
research Human pollution exposure correlates with accelerated ultrastructural degradation of hair fibers
Pollution exposure speeds up hair damage.
research Multifunctional Merkel cells: Their roles in electromagnetic reception, finger-print formation, Reiki, epigenetic inheritance and hair form
Merkel cells may have roles in sensing magnetic fields, creating fingerprints, Reiki energy healing, passing on environmental information to offspring, and influencing hair shape.
research Spatial Distribution and Functional Impact of Human Scalp Hair Follicle Microbiota
Scalp hair follicle microbes affect hair health and could be used for treatments.

research Heterogeneity of neural crest-derived melanocytes
Melanocytes are diverse cells important for pigmentation and skin health, influenced by genetics and environment.
research Effects of Aging on Hair Color, Melanosomes, and Melanin Composition in Japanese Males and Their Sex Differences
As Japanese males age, their hair darkens due to increased melanin, with males generally having darker hair than females.
research A review of the etiologies, clinical characteristics, and treatment of canities
Gray hair is caused by reduced melanin production or transfer issues, linked to aging and possibly health conditions, with treatments focusing on color camouflage.
research Melanocyte Chitosan/Gelatin Composite Fabrication with Human Outer Root Sheath-Derived Cells to Produce Pigment
