research Topology of Feather Melanocyte Progenitor Niche Allows Complex Pigment Patterns to Emerge
Feather pigment patterns form through melanocyte arrangement and simple regulatory mechanisms.
research 1363 Hair follicle growth and pigmentation during ageing
The research found that a specific skin cell type not only triggers hair growth but also controls hair color, and that aging can lead to hair loss and color changes.
research An introduction to skin disease in melanin rich skin
Melanin-rich skin has unique challenges in diagnosing and treating skin diseases.

research Gene Expression Profiles of Melanocytes Over-Expressing miR-5110 in Alpaca
miR-5110 affects alpaca pigmentation by altering specific gene expressions.
research Exosomal miR ‐199a‐3p From Dermal Papilla Cells Regulates Hair Follicle Pigmentation by Targeting POU2F1 in Melanocytes
Exosomal miR-199a-3p from dermal papilla cells helps control hair color by affecting melanocytes.
research Sox2 in the dermal papilla regulates hair follicle pigmentation
Sox2 controls hair color by affecting pigment production in hair follicles.
research 576 A preliminary study of melanogenic markers in the differentiation of the human hair follicle melanin unit
The study found markers indicating that cells responsible for hair color are differentiating in specific areas of the hair follicle.
research Lipid‐mediated signalling and melanocyte function
A sphingolipid from human placenta may help treat vitiligo by activating melanocyte stem cells.
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 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 α-Mangostin, a safe and natural product as a candidate skin-whitening agent
α-Mangostin can naturally lighten skin by reducing melanin.
research Finasteride inhibits melanogenesis through regulation of the adenylate cyclase in melanocytes and melanoma cells
Finasteride reduces melanin production, possibly treating hyperpigmentation and melanoma, but needs more safety research.
