A gene called Taqpep affects cat coat patterns like stripes and blotches.
research The Effects of Smoking on Hair Health: A Systematic Review
Smoking is linked to more hair loss and premature graying compared to nonsmokers.
research An Open-Label Comparative Study on the Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy with Hydroquinone 4% Versus Hydroquinone 4% Alone in Melasma
Combining PRP with hydroquinone is more effective for treating melasma than using hydroquinone alone.
research The organization of the keratin I and II gene clusters in placental mammals and marsupials show a striking similarity
Keratin gene clusters in humans and marsupials are similarly organized.
research Decision letter: Dynamics of nevus development implicate cell cooperation in the growth arrest of transformed melanocytes

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 Unilateral heterochromia of scalp hair with adjacent hypomelanotic skin lesions
The boy's hair and skin color differences are due to a pigmentation disorder.
research EVALUATION OF GUT MICROBIOTA IN MELANOMA AND VITILIGO PATIENTS
Melanoma and vitiligo patients have different gut fungi and bacteria compared to healthy people.

research Spatiotemporal Expression, Distribution, and Processing of POMC and POMC-derived Peptides in Murine Skin
POMC-derived peptides are important for skin functions like immune response and stress management.
research 571 Role of observation for excisionally biopsied moderately dysplastic nevi with positive histologic margins and risk of development of future melanoma
Watching, not removing, skin growths with moderate atypia and positive edges is okay; patients may get melanoma elsewhere, especially if they've had it before.
research Atypical bilateral hyperpigmented macules on the lower legs possibly due to cyclophosphamide.
Cyclophosphamide likely causes skin darkening by affecting hair follicles.
research Localized Hair Repigmentation in a 91-Year-Old Woman
