research Serotoninergic and melatoninergic systems are fully expressed in human skin
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin.
research Dyeing regions of oxidative hair dyes in human hair investigated by nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry
Hair dye colors mainly target melanin granules in black hair.
research Biomarker of Oxidative Stress in Premature Hair Graying at Young Age
People with premature hair graying have an imbalance between harmful and protective molecules in their body, hinting that antioxidants might help.
research In vitro Differentiation of Melanocyte Stem Cells Derived from Vitiligo Patients into Functional Melanocytes
Melanocyte stem cells from non-affected skin in vitiligo patients can become functional melanocytes for potential therapy.
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 Extradermal melanin transfer? Lack of macroscopic spleen melanization in old C57BL/6 mice with de-synchronized hair cycle.
Old C57BL/6 mice with unsynchronized hair cycles show less melanin in their spleens.
research Melatonin - A Cutaneous Perspective
Melatonin is good for skin health and may help treat skin conditions.
research Melanocyte stem cells: a melanocyte reservoir in hair follicles for hair and skin pigmentation
Melanocyte stem cells in hair follicles are key for hair color and could help treat greying and pigment disorders.
research Tyrosinase inhibition due to interaction of homocyst(e)ine with copper: the mechanism for reversible hypopigmentation in homocystinuria due to cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency.
Lowering homocyst(e)ine levels can reverse skin and hair lightening by restoring enzyme activity needed for pigmentation.
research Downregulation of nuclear factor-kappaB activation in human keratinocytes by melanogenesis inhibitors
Melanogenesis inhibitors like kojic acid and niacinamide can reduce inflammation and pigment production in skin cells.
research Spatiotemporal Labeling of Melanocytes in Mice
The research showed how melanocytes develop, move, and respond to UV light, and their stem cells' role in hair color and skin cancer risk.
research A pilot study for triple combination therapy with a low-fluence 1064 nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, hydroquinone cream and oral tranexamic acid for recalcitrant Riehl’s Melanosis
The combination therapy significantly improved Riehl’s melanosis in patients without serious side effects.
research Melatonin as a major skin protectant: from free radical scavenging to DNA damage repair
Melatonin protects the skin by scavenging free radicals and repairing DNA damage.
research Periorbital Melanosis: A Potential Marker for Metabolic Syndrome?
Periorbital melanosis may be linked to metabolic syndrome.
research Dermal Papilla Cells and Melanocytes Response to Physiological Oxygen Levels Depends on Their Interactions
Oxygen levels affect hair growth and color cells differently when they interact directly.

Finasteride can cause melasma, especially in people with darker skin.
research Segmented Heterochromia in Black Scalp Hair Associated With Iron-Deficiency Anemia
Iron deficiency can cause hair color changes, which can be reversed with iron supplements.
research 640 Exploring the synergic effects of a plant and a peptide on hair follicle pigmentation
The combination of a plant extract and a peptide can increase hair pigmentation and may reverse greying.
research Endothelin-1 combined with extracellular matrix proteins promotes the adhesion and chemotaxis of amelanotic melanocytes from human hair follicles in vitro
Endothelin-1 helps amelanotic melanocytes stick and move better on certain proteins.
