research Mechanisms of repigmentation induced by photobiomodulation therapy in vitiligo
Light therapy using helium-neon lasers can help restore skin color in vitiligo by promoting skin cell growth and movement.
research Overexpression of hepatoma-derived growth factor in melanocytes does not lead to oncogenic transformation
Overexpression of HDGF in melanocytes does not cause cancer.
research Clinically applicable transplantation procedure of dermal papilla cells for hair follicle regeneration
The best method for transplanting skin cells to regenerate hair follicles is the Hemi-vascularized sandwich method, as it produces more mature follicles and promotes hair growth.
research Differential epithelial outgrowth of plucked and microdissected human hair follicles in explant culture
research Differential epithelial outgrowth of plucked and microdissected human hair follicles in explant culture
research Proopiomelanocortin expression in the skin during induced hair growth in mice
research Splenic melanosis during normal murine C57BL/6 hair cycle and after chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy reduces splenic melanin in mice.
research Follicular Unit Transplantation
Follicular Unit Transplantation is a reliable hair restoration method with a high success rate and minimal scarring.
research Blank Spots in the Map of Human Skin: The Challenge for Xenotransplantation
Human skin xenografting could improve our understanding of skin development, renewal, and healing.
research Mouse Epidermal Neural Crest Stem Cell (EPI-NCSC) Cultures
Mouse epidermal neural crest stem cells can become various cell types and are easily obtained from hair follicles.
research Tyrosinase Depletion Prevents the Maturation of Melanosomes in the Mouse Hair Follicle
Reducing Tyrosinase prevents mature color pigment cells from forming in mouse hair.
research Restoration of hair-inductive activity of cultured human follicular keratinocytes by co-culturing with dermal papilla cells
Growing hair cells with dermal cells can potentially treat hair loss.
research A preliminary study of markers for human hair follicle melanin stem cell
Researchers identified potential markers for human hair color stem cells.
research Follicular Unit Excision in Patients of African Descent: A Skin-Responsive Technique
A new device improves hair transplant success for people of African descent by considering skin thickness and firmness.
research Reorganization of hair follicles in human skin organ culture induced by cultured human follicle-derived cells
Injected human hair follicle cells can create new, small hair follicles in skin cultures.

New therapies like JAK inhibitors and stem cells show promise in treating vitiligo.
research Autologous follicular unit extraction transplant for postburn cicatricial alopecia: A single‐center's retrospective case series
FUE hair transplant effectively treats burn-related hair loss with natural results and quick recovery.
research Follicular Cell Implantation: An Emerging Cell Therapy for Hair Loss
Follicular Cell Implantation might become a new treatment for hair loss and could lead to advances in organ regeneration.
research Epidermal Stem Cells Cultured on Collagen-Modified Chitin Membrane Induce In Situ Tissue Regeneration of Full-Thickness Skin Defects in Mice
Epidermal stem cells on a special membrane helped mice regrow full skin with hair and functions.
research Platelet-Rich Plasma in Melasma—A Systematic Review
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can significantly improve melasma, a skin pigmentation disorder, but may not add benefits when used with certain other treatments.
research Eyebrow Transplantation in Asians
Eyebrow transplantation can be successful for Asians with the right technique and care, but regular maintenance is necessary.
research Generating iPSCs with a High-Efficient, Non-Invasive Method—An Improved Way to Cultivate Keratinocytes from Plucked Hair for Reprogramming
The conclusion is that the new method makes collecting cells from plucked hair to create stem cells more efficient and less invasive.
research Receptor tyrosine kinase Kit action in skin melanocytes: is it exclusively cell autonomous?
KIT's role in skin cells is not entirely independent, as other cells can influence its function.
research Synergistic delivery of ginseng exosomes and biomimetic melanosomes via temporally controlled hydrogel microneedles restrain the pathologic triad of vitiligo
A new microneedle treatment can effectively repigment skin in vitiligo.
research Loss of ‘Epidermal Melanin Unit’ Integrity in Human Skin During Melanoma-Genesis
Melanoma development can be linked to the breakdown of skin's melanin-producing units.
research Alternative Therapies for Vitiligo
Some alternative therapies for vitiligo show promise but need more research.
