Research
90-120 / 1000+ resultsresearch Lipid‐mediated signalling and melanocyte function
A sphingolipid from human placenta may help treat vitiligo by activating melanocyte stem cells.
research Biology of melanocytes in mammals
Melanocytes are important for skin and hair color and protect the skin from UV damage.
research The Hair Pigmentation Unit and Hair Graying
Hair color is due to active pigment cells in hair during growth.
research Sox2 in the dermal papilla regulates hair follicle pigmentation
Sox2 controls hair color by affecting pigment production in hair follicles.
research The Psychology of Gray Hair
Stress can cause hair to turn gray by depleting pigment-producing cells through the release of a stress hormone.
research Activity evaluation of epidermo-melanin unit and dermal damage in melasma
Melasma results from changes in the skin's pigment and structure, not just pigment cell growth.
research Hair regrowth in alopecia areata and re‐pigmentation in vitiligo in response to treatment: Commonalities and differences
Hair regrows faster in alopecia areata than skin re-pigments in vitiligo due to differences in stem cells and treatment effects.
research The Peripheral Clock Regulates Human Pigmentation
Certain genes control the color of human hair by affecting pigment production.
research Vitiligo: Auto‐immunity and immune responses
Vitiligo is caused by the immune system attacking skin pigment cells.
research 1200 The biology of melanocytes
Melanocytes are cells that make skin and hair color and help protect skin from sun damage.
research Subclinical speckled perifollicular melanosis of the scalp.
The scalp has a natural speckled pattern of increased pigment around hair follicles, possibly linked to local hormone production.
research Steroidogenic factor-1 lineage origin of skin lesions in Carney complex syndrome
Skin lesions in Carney complex are likely caused by a specific group of skin cells that promote pigment production due to a genetic mutation.
research The skin of primates. XLI. The skin of the silver marmoset—Callithrix (= Mico) Argentata
The silver marmoset's skin is thin, lacks pigment cells, and has unique features like keratinized spines and specialized glands.
research Complications and Limitations of Melanocyte Transplantation
Melanocyte transplantation can safely restore skin color, especially in stable vitiligo, but must be chosen carefully based on the disease phase.
research Postherpetic Poliosis
A man's chest hair turned white after a shingles infection, possibly due to virus-damaged pigment cells.
research Changes in Characteristics of Murine Hair Follicles and Tissue Stem Cells Throughout Life
Mouse hair follicles age, causing more white hairs due to fewer pigment stem cells.
research Keratinocytes regulate the function of melanocytes
Keratinocytes control how melanocytes work.
research Effects of Gonadal Steroids on Melanocytes in Developing Hamsters
Androgens increase pigmentation in young hamsters, but estrogens can reverse this effect.
research Heterogeneity of neural crest-derived melanocytes
Melanocytes are diverse cells important for pigmentation and skin health, influenced by genetics and environment.
research An exclusive review of melatonin effects on mammalian melanocytes and melanoma
Melatonin may inhibit melanoma growth and has potential as a cancer therapy aid, but its effects on human skin pigmentation need more research.
research Role of Dermal Melanocytes in Cutaneous Pigmentation of Stasis Dermatitis
Melanin and melanocytes contribute to the brown pigmentation in stasis dermatitis.
research N02. Hair and Nails
Researchers found new hair and nail genes, how hair reacts to UV, differences in white and pigmented hair growth, nerve changes in alopecia, treatments for baldness and alopecia, a toenail condition linked to a genetic disorder, and that nail fungus is more common in people with psoriasis.
research Changes in Different Melanocyte Populations During Hair Follicle Involution (Catagen)
Different melanocyte types in hair follicles either survive or die during the catagen phase.
