research Hair(y) Matters in Melanoma Biology
The document concludes that the immune-inhibitory environment of the hair follicle may prevent melanoma development.
research Regulation of melanocyte stem cells in the pigmentation of skin and its appendages: Biological patterning and therapeutic potentials
Understanding how melanocyte stem cells work could lead to new treatments for hair graying and skin pigmentation disorders.
research Topobiology of Human Pigmentation: P-Cadherin Selectively Stimulates Hair Follicle Melanogenesis
P-cadherin is crucial for hair follicle pigmentation but not skin pigmentation.
research Human hair melanins: what we have learned and have not learned from mouse coat color pigmentation
We know a lot about mouse hair color, but not much about human hair color differences.
research Protective Role of Melatonin and Its Metabolites in Skin Aging
Melatonin, a hormone, can help protect skin from aging by reducing stress, inflammation, and damage, and may also help treat hair loss in women.
research Aberrant Activation of the Hedgehog Pathway in Cutaneous Melanoma: Therapeutic Potential of Pharmacological Inhibitors
Hedgehog pathway inhibitors could be effective in treating melanoma.
research Direct conversion of mouse and human fibroblasts to functional melanocytes by defined factors
Fibroblasts can be turned into melanocytes for potential skin treatments.
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 Circulating testosterone and feather-gene expression of receptors and metabolic enzymes in relation to melanin-based colouration in the barn owl
Barn owls with smaller black spots have higher testosterone levels, which might be due to genetic effects on hormone regulation rather than hormone effects on coloration.
research Is There a Rationale for the Use of an Alpha-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone Analog to Improve Gray Hair Repigmentation?
PT-20 did not significantly improve gray hair repigmentation.
research Differential effects of melatonin as a broad range UV-damage preventive dermato-endocrine regulator
Melatonin protects skin against UV damage by regulating various cellular processes.
research Alopecia Areata and Medical Modulation of the Intrinsic Property of Melanin to Transform Light Into Chemical Energy Through the Water Dissociation
Enhancing melanin's energy generation may help treat alopecia areata.
research Update on Melasma—Part I: Pathogenesis
Melasma's causes include genetics, sun exposure, hormones, and oxidative stress, and understanding these can help create better treatments.
research Inducible cre-mediated N-ras activation and PTEN inactivation in transgenic mouse melanocytes requires keratinocyte hyperplasia to elicit a melanocyte pathology
Melanocyte pathology requires keratinocyte hyperplasia and regulation dysfunction.
research Hair Repigmentation as a Melanoma Warning Sign
Hair turning darker can be a sign of skin cancer.
research Culturing of Melanocytes from the Equine Hair Follicle Outer Root Sheath
Researchers successfully grew horse skin cells that produce pigment from hair follicle samples.
research Hydrophilic melanin as a potential hair growth stimulant: A secondary observational study
Hydrophilic melanin may help hair grow by improving blood flow and regeneration.
research HGF/SF Increases Number of Skin Melanocytes but Does Not Alter Quality or Quantity of Follicular Melanogenesis
HGF/SF increases skin melanocytes but doesn't change melanin type or amount.
research Hormonal control of pelage cycles in the short tailed weasel (Mustela erminea bangsi)
The pituitary gland controls seasonal fur color changes in weasels.
research Beyond the Epidermal-Melanin-Unit: The Human Scalp Anagen Hair Bulb Is Home to Multiple Melanocyte Subpopulations of Variable Melanogenic Capacity
The human scalp has different types of pigment cells in hair follicles with varying abilities to produce pigment.
research LB1031 Immune Cell-Mediated Amplification of Stem Cell Activation in Hairy Melanocytic Nevus via Osteopontin-CD44 Axis
Immune cells boost stem cell activity in hairy moles, causing more hair growth.
research Spectrum of Phenotypes Associated with Human MC1R Variations
MC1R gene variations affect skin, hair color, UV sensitivity, and melanoma risk.
research 516 Dynein is involved in the movement, distribution, acidity, and transfer of melanosomes
Dynlt3 is important for melanosome transport and skin coloration.
research Involvement of the central hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in hair growth and melanogenesis among different mouse strains
Stress can slow hair growth and affect skin color by impacting the body's stress response system.
research Melatonin-Mediated Circadian Rhythm Signaling Exhibits Bidirectional Regulatory Effects on the State of Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Melatonin can help or hinder hair growth depending on the dose.
research Melanocyte and gonad activity as potential severity modifying factors in C3H/HeJ mouse alopecia areata
Gonadal hormones significantly affect the severity of alopecia areata in mice.
research Agouti and Agouti-related Protein: Analogies and Contrasts
Agouti and AGRP affect pigmentation and obesity, with implications for metabolic disorders.
research Hair Follicle Pigmentation
