30-60 / 707 results research The Effect of Ruby Laser Light on Cellular Proliferation of Epidermal Cells
Ruby laser hair removal does not cause increased cell growth in the skin.
research Extracellular Vesicles in Facial Aesthetics: A Review
Tiny particles called extracellular vesicles show promise for skin improvement and anti-aging in facial care but face challenges like low production and lack of research.
research Heterogeneity of neural crest-derived melanocytes
Melanocytes are diverse cells important for pigmentation and skin health, influenced by genetics and environment.
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 Optimization of the method for the culture of melanocyte precursors from hair follicles and their activation by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3
1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 helps melanocyte precursors from hair follicles grow and produce melanin, aiding vitiligo treatment understanding.
research Human hair melanins: what we have learned and have not learned from mouse coat color pigmentation
We know less about human hair pigmentation than mouse coat color, but pH and cysteine levels are key factors.
research Melanocyte Chitosan/Gelatin Composite Fabrication with Human Outer Root Sheath-Derived Cells to Produce Pigment
The technique can isolate cells to help treat skin pigmentation issues.
research SASH1 Mutations and Hereditary Disorders of Pigmentation: Review of Literature
SASH1 gene mutations are linked to various inherited skin pigmentation disorders.
research Plant‐Derived Monomers for Grey Hair Reversal Through Upregulation of Melanogenesis and Tyrosinase Activity
Plant-derived compounds may help reverse grey hair by boosting melanin production.
research Melanocytes and Vitiligo (and Hair Graying)
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
research Melanocyte Pygmentation – Friend or Foe on the Route to Melanoma

research Reprogramming of three-dimensional microenvironments for in vitro hair follicle induction
Reprogramming 3D environments can create hair follicles in the lab.
research Impact of constant light exposure during pregnancy on skin of neonatal New Zealand rabbits: structural and ultrastructural study
Constant light exposure during pregnancy changes newborn rabbits' skin, affecting hair follicles, skin thickness, and pigment cells.
research Does Nicastrin Inadequacy Cause Melanocytotoxicity in Human Skin as in the Fish Counterpart?
Nicastrin deficiency may cause skin cell damage and pigmentation disorders in humans, similar to effects seen in fish.
research Location and fine structure of melanocytes in human fetal scalp hair follicles.
Melanocytes in the outer root sheath are likely stem cells that grow fast but stay immature.
research Hair follicle-derived epithelial sheet has potential in vitiligo treatment
Hair follicle-derived sheets can effectively treat vitiligo by repigmenting skin.
research Trichology to predict efficacy of scalp cooling: New pathologic insights besides encouraging clinical results.
Scalp cooling can effectively prevent hair loss during chemotherapy, improving patients' quality of life.
