Certain genes control the color of human hair by affecting pigment production.
research Heterogeneity of neural crest-derived melanocytes
Melanocytes are diverse cells important for pigmentation and skin health, influenced by genetics and environment.
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.
