Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
research Commentary: Darier-White Disease
The conclusion is that Darier-White disease was accurately described by White but he missed the key feature of dyskeratotic cells which Darier identified.
research Epithelial skirt and bulge of human facial vellus hair follicles and and associated Merkel cell-nerve complex
Merkel cells are abundant in facial vellus hair follicles, especially during the anagen phase.
research Clinical repigmentation patterns in paediatric vitiligo
The study found that the most common repigmentation pattern in children with vitiligo is a combination of patterns, with a new medium spotted pattern identified.

Targeting Hedgehog signaling may help treat ligamentum flavum fibrosis.
research WISP-1 induced by mechanical stress contributes to the fibrosis and hypertrophy of ligamentum flavum via the Hedgehog-Gli1 signaling
Mechanical stress causes ligament thickening through WISP-1 and Hedgehog signaling.
research Central 5-alpha reduction of testosterone is required for testosterone's inhibition of the hypothalamo-pituitary–adrenal axis response to restraint stress in adult male rats
Testosterone needs to be converted to DHT to reduce stress response in male rats.
research Vasoactive intestinal peptide, whose receptor-mediated signalling may be defective in alopecia areata, provides protection from hair follicle immune privilege collapse
A substance called VIP might protect hair follicles from being attacked by the immune system, and problems with VIP signaling could lead to hair loss in alopecia areata.
