450-480 / 1000+ resultsresearch The cell biology of human hair follicle pigmentation
We need more research on human hair follicle pigmentation, not just mouse models.
research Pigmentation of regenerated hairs after wounding
Regenerated hairs can regain their color if the wound occurs during a certain stage of hair growth, and this process is helped by specific skin cells and proteins.
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 Identification of hair shaft progenitors that create a niche for hair pigmentation
Scientists found cells in hair that are key for growth and color.
research 1363 Hair follicle growth and pigmentation during ageing
The research found that a specific skin cell type not only triggers hair growth but also controls hair color, and that aging can lead to hair loss and color changes.
research Colourless side of the nude mutation: Foxn1 and hair pigmentation
Foxn1 is essential for hair pigmentation by directing pigment transfer to hair cells.
research Localized Hair Repigmentation in a 91-Year-Old Woman
A 91-year-old woman's hair turned black in one spot, with skin changes underneath.
research ESTROGEN RECEPTORS OF HAIRS BLACKS AND WHITES
Females have higher estrogen receptor levels in hair than males, and these levels decrease in white hair compared to black hair.
research Phylloid terminal hair nevus: A unique clinical entity
A baby had a unique skin condition with a pale patch and surrounding dark hairs, not linked to other health issues.
research PIGMENTATION OF HAIR ON TRANSPLANTED SKIN IN HOODED RATS
Transplanted skin on hooded rats often grows white hair instead of black.
research Human Hair Pigment: A Mild Isolation Procedure and a Method for Characterization
A new method was developed to gently isolate hair pigment while keeping its structure intact.
research Hair Follicle Melanogenesis Reflected in Hair Pigmentation as a Developmental Factor in Alopecia Areata
Hair color is not a risk factor for developing alopecia areata.
research Hair Repigmentation as a Melanoma Warning Sign
Hair turning darker can be a sign of skin cancer.
research Exogen Hairs in Women with and without Hair Loss
Women with and without hair loss have similar amounts of exogen hairs, so these hairs are not a key factor in hair loss conditions.
research Differential Gene Expression Screening Between Black and Gray Hairs Using Subtractive Library and DNA Chip
Black hairs have more pigment-related genes, while gray hairs have more keratin-related genes.
research Pigmented Casts
Pigmented casts are common in several hair loss conditions and can help diagnose specific types of alopecia.
research Quantitation of normal human hair pigmentation by electron microscopy
Daily hair care may cause holes in hair fibers.
research A Microscopic Study of the Hair of the Rabbit, with Special Reference to its Form of Cross-section and Granular Pigmentation
Rabbit hair color is influenced by the shape and distribution of pigment granules.
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 Two case studies of persistent white hair regrowth after alopecia areata turning pigmented following treatment
White hair from alopecia areata can turn pigmented after treatment.
research A neuroendocrinological perspective on human hair follicle pigmentation
Brain hormones significantly affect hair color and could potentially be used to prevent or reverse grey hair.
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 ERYTHROMELANOSIS FOLLICULARIS FACIEI ET COLLI
Three Iranian men had reddish-brown facial pigmentation with no effective treatment.
research Hair and nail disorders
Hair and nail disorders can cause changes in scalp pigmentation, especially with sun exposure and alopecia.
research Hair melanocytes as neuro-endocrine sensors—Pigments for our imagination
Hair melanocytes help the skin respond to stress and regulate hair pigmentation.
research 576 A preliminary study of melanogenic markers in the differentiation of the human hair follicle melanin unit
The study found markers indicating that cells responsible for hair color are differentiating in specific areas of the hair follicle.
research Critical Stages of Hair Development and Pigmentation in the Mouse
Hair growth and pigmentation in mice involve specific stages crucial for research.
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 Langerhans' Cells in Hair Follicles of the Depigmenting C57Bl/Ler-vit.vit Mouse
Langerhans' cells are not involved in hair depigmentation in these mice.
