Pimecrolimus boosts melanin production and movement of skin pigment cells.
research Melanogenesis is coupled to murine anagen: Toward new concepts for the role of melanocytes and the regulation of melanogenesis in hair growth
Hair color production in mice is closely linked to the hair growth phase and may also influence hair growth itself.
research An Unusual Case of Mycosis Fungoides Presenting with Multiple Atypical Morphologies in a Photoexacerbated Distribution
Mycosis fungoides can have unusual symptoms and may be misdiagnosed, but specific cell markers might suggest a lower risk of worsening.
