Silk fibroin microneedles can effectively treat vitiligo by promoting skin pigmentation.
research Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) But Not Alpha-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (a-MSH) as a Mediator of Adrenalectomy Induced Hair Growth in Mink
ACTH promotes hair growth in mink, but α-MSH does not.
research Efficacy of an agonist ofα-MSH, the palmitoyl tetrapeptide-20, in hair pigmentation
Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-20 may help reduce hair greying and increase melanin production.
research Biocompatible exosomes derived from Pinctada martensii mucus for therapeutic melanin regulation via α-MSH/NF-κB/MITF pathway
Exosomes from Pinctada martensii mucus can safely reduce melanin production, offering a new treatment for skin pigment issues.
research Dissecting the Impact of α-MSH-MC1R-cAMP Signaling on UVA-Induced Stress in Fibroblasts - Implications for Regulation of Cutaneous Photoaging
The α-MSH-MC1R-cAMP pathway does not protect skin cells from UVA damage.
research Structure and function of melanocytes: microscopic morphology and cell biology of mouse melanocytes in the epidermis and hair follicle.
Mouse melanocyte structure and function are influenced by genetics, hormones, and environmental factors.
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 PHYSIOLOGIC SKIN CHANGES ASSOCIATED WITH PREGNANCY
Pregnancy often causes skin changes like darkening, stretch marks, and hair growth, which may improve after childbirth.
research 8 Hair follicles and associated glands as androgen targets
Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.
research Endocrine-skin interactions
Hormone imbalances can cause specific skin changes, which may help in early detection of endocrine disorders.
research Environmental Influences on the Hair Follicle
Environmental factors like temperature and nutrition affect hair growth, with humans showing seasonal hair growth differences.
research EFFECTS OF α-MELANOCYTE-STIMULATING HORMONE AND [8-ARGININE]-VASOTOCIN UPON MELANOGENESIS IN HAIR FOLLICLE MELANOCYTES IN VITRO
α-MSH increases melanin production in moulting hair follicles, while AVT inhibits it.
research [Effect of Tribulus terrestris extract on melanocyte-stimulating hormone expression in mouse hair follicles].
Tribulus terrestris extract significantly increases MSH expression and melanin production in mouse hair follicles.
research Alopecia areata – hyperactivity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis is a myth?
The study found no significant difference in stress hormone levels between people with alopecia areata and healthy individuals, suggesting that the disease is not caused by an overactive stress response system.
research Endocrine Controls of Skin Aging
Hormones affect skin aging, but only topical retinoids and estrogens are used in treatments now.
research Perkembangan Aksis Pars Intermedia Hipofise – Melanosit Kulit Monyet Ekor Panjang (Macaca fascicularis).
The PI's development is closely linked to skin and hair pigmentation in macaques.

Recognizing minor skin lesions can help identify serious cancer syndromes.
research Human hair follicles display a functional equivalent of the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis and synthesize cortisol
Human hair follicles can produce cortisol like the body's stress response system.
research Immunology of the Human Nail Apparatus: The Nail Matrix Is a Site of Relative Immune Privilege
The nail matrix has a reduced immune response, protecting it from autoimmunity.
research Agouti and Agouti-related Protein: Analogies and Contrasts
Agouti and AGRP affect pigmentation and obesity, with implications for metabolic disorders.
