Enhancing melanin's energy generation may help treat alopecia areata.
research Differential Gene Expression Screening Between Black and Gray Hairs Using Subtractive Library and DNA Chip
Black hairs have more pigment-related genes, while gray hairs have more keratin-related genes.
research Editorial: Mechanisms and novel treatments of pigmentary disorders and skin regeneration
New treatments and drugs show promise for improving skin pigmentation and regeneration.
research How the leopard gets its spots: a transmembrane peptidase specifies feline pigmentation patterns
A gene called Taqpep affects cat coat patterns like stripes and blotches.
research Mechanisms of Hair Graying: Incomplete Melanocyte Stem Cell Maintenance in the Niche
Hair graying is caused by the loss of pigment cells due to poor maintenance of stem cells in the hair follicle.
research Transplantation of melanocyte stem cells in vitiliginous skin
Transplanting melanocyte stem cells from hair follicles can effectively treat vitiligo.
research DP18 A mimicker of melanoma on sun-exposed sites
Melanocytic matricoma can look like skin cancer but is usually harmless; surgery and follow-up are advised.
research 647 NLRP1 promotes tumor growth by enhancing inflammasome activation and suppressing caspase-3 activity in human melanoma
NLRP1 helps melanoma tumors grow by boosting inflammasome activation and reducing caspase-3 activity.
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 Malignant Melanoma and Its Stromal Nonimmune Microecosystem
The surrounding tissue plays a crucial role in the growth and spread of skin cancer.
research Preservation of melanoblasts of white hair follicles of segmental vitiligo lesions: A preliminary study
White hair follicles in vitiligo have fewer and less functional melanocytes.
research The anatomical distribution of lentiginous melanoma (lentigo maligna and lentigo maligna melanoma): Differences according to sex
Lentiginous melanoma is most common on the face, especially the nose, cheek, and pre-auricular areas, with men more likely to have it on the scalp, ears, upper back, and trapezius, and women on the cheek and anterior arm. Sun damage is a key factor in its formation.
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 Mimosine Dipeptide Enantiomsers: Improved Inhibitors against Melanogenesis and Cyclooxygenase
Mimosine dipeptides are promising for treating hyperpigmentation and inflammation.
research News in brief
Researchers discovered potential origins and new treatments for skin cancer, including biomarkers for melanoma and therapies that reduce tumor growth.
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.
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 Anatomic location of primary melanoma: Survival differences and sun exposure
Where melanoma is on the body affects survival chances; melanomas on the back of the head are worse, while those on thighs and arms are less severe, and more sun exposure might improve survival.
research Anti-Melanogenic and Anti-Oxidative Effects of Nostoc verrucosum (ashitsuki) Extracts
Nostoc verrucosum extracts may help reduce melanin production and have antioxidant properties.
research Repigmentation of Leukoderma by Minigrafts of Normally Pigmented, Autologous Skin
Transplanting small skin grafts can successfully repigment leukoderma.
research Melanin Light Absorption as the Necessary but Not Sufficient Condition for Photoepilation: Miniaturization and Eclipse Phenomena
Melanin absorbing light is necessary but not enough for effective hair removal by light treatment.
research The antimycotic agent clotrimazole inhibits melanogenesis by accelerating ERK and PI3K-/Akt-mediated tyrosinase degradation
Clotrimazole, an antifungal cream, may safely reduce skin pigmentation by breaking down the enzyme needed for making melanin.
research Serine-rich ultra high sulfur protein gene expression in murine hair and skin during the hair cycle

The PML protein helps prevent skin cancer in mice.
research Detection of Functionally Active Melanocortin Receptors and Evidence for an Immunoregulatory Activity of α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
αMSH may help regulate immune responses in hair follicles and its disruption could lead to hair loss.
research Regulatory pathway analysis of coat color genes in Mongolian horses
Genes influence horse coat color and may help understand human skin conditions.
