research 1379 Cell of origin contributes to the melanoma diversity
Different types of stem cells in the skin contribute to the variety of melanoma forms.
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 Evolution in action: highlighting a role for the Agouti gene in development?
The Agouti gene influences pigmentation and may have a developmental role in deer mice.
research CD34 defines melanocyte stem cell subpopulations with distinct regenerative properties
CD34+ and CD34- melanocyte stem cells have different regenerative abilities.
research 1272 p21Waf1/Cip1 is differentially expressed in epidermal versus follicular melanocytes and melanoma cells and is phenotypically regulated by UVB-mediated apoptosis
The protein p21 is more abundant in normal skin cells than in melanoma cells and may help protect against melanoma, with UVB light affecting its levels.
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 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 Pimecrolimus increases the melanogenesis and migration of melanocytes in vitro
Pimecrolimus boosts melanin production and movement of skin pigment cells.
research Editor's evaluation: Crosstalk with keratinocytes causes GNAQ oncogene specificity in melanoma
Keratinocytes can reduce the survival of certain melanoma cells, suggesting new therapy paths.
research 518 Nutrient and stress sensing as novel physiological regulator of human hair pigmentation and greying: Role of mTORC1 activity
Blocking mTORC1 activity could increase hair pigmentation and potentially reverse greying.
research Perifollicular Melanocyte Regeneration in Bullous Pemphigoid
Melanocytes can regenerate around hair follicles in bullous pemphigoid, especially in patients with darker skin.
research Lipid‐mediated signalling and melanocyte function
A sphingolipid from human placenta may help treat vitiligo by activating melanocyte stem cells.
research Enhanced Differentiation Potential of Pigmented Human Epidermal Equivalents
PmtHEE is a better model for studying pigmented skin because it includes melanocytes and shows improved cell differentiation.
research Melatonin regulates the mitogen-activated protein kinase ( MAPK ) pathway via the circMPP5-miR-211-MAPK3 axis to induce secondary hair follicle differentiation and development in newborn Cashmere goat kids
Melatonin helps improve Cashmere goat hair quality by promoting hair follicle growth through a specific cell signaling pathway.
research Serotoninergic and melatoninergic systems are fully expressed in human skin
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin.
research Mitochondrial deoxyguanosine kinase depletion induced ROS causes melanocyte stem cell exhaustion and hair greying
Lack of a certain enzyme causes hair to grey early by damaging stem cells, but an antioxidant can help prevent this.
research On the Role of Melatonin in Skin Physiology and Pathology
Melatonin is important for skin health and protection, and can be made by the skin or applied to it.
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 686 Topical melatonin unfolds differential anti-aging effects in human skin by inhibiting mTORC1 activity via TSC2 stimulation
Topical melatonin may reduce skin aging by inhibiting certain cellular pathways.
research Human Hair Follicle and Epidermal Melanocytes Exhibit Striking Differences in Their Aging Profile which Involves Catalase
Hair follicle cells age faster and lose pigment due to less catalase, causing hair to turn gray.
research Melasma and Endocrine Disorders
Melasma is a skin condition linked to female hormones, genetics, UV exposure, and certain medications, but not to pituitary, adrenal, or thyroid diseases.
research Coordinated Activation of Wnt in Epithelial and Melanocyte Stem Cells Initiates Pigmented Hair Regeneration
Wnt signaling is crucial for pigmented hair regeneration by controlling stem cell activation and differentiation.

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 Malignant Melanoma and Its Stromal Nonimmune Microecosystem
The surrounding tissue plays a crucial role in the growth and spread of skin cancer.
research Integrated transcriptomic and proteomic analysis reveals molecular mechanisms of melatonin-regulated hair follicle growth in cashmere goats and comparative insights across goat breeds
Melatonin helps control hair growth in cashmere goats, which could improve cashmere production.
