research Melanogenesis is coupled to murine anagen: Toward new concepts for the role of melanocytes and the regulation of melanogenesis in hair growth
Hair color production in mice is closely linked to the hair growth phase and may also influence hair growth itself.
research Update on Melasma—Part I: Pathogenesis
Melasma's causes include genetics, sun exposure, hormones, and oxidative stress, and understanding these can help create better treatments.
research Melanogenesis Is Coupled to Murine Anagen: Toward New Concepts for the Role of Melanocytes and the Regulation of Melanogenesis in Hair Growth.
Hair color production is closely linked to the active growth phase of hair in mice and may also influence hair growth itself.
research The Peripheral Clock Regulates Human Pigmentation
Certain genes control the color of human hair by affecting pigment production.
research Piecing together the pigment-type switching puzzle
The document concludes that MGRN1 affects mouse fur color by interfering with a receptor's signaling, but its full role in the body is still unknown.
research Melanocytes: The new Black
Melanocytes are crucial for skin pigmentation and can affect conditions like melanoma, vitiligo, and albinism, as well as hair color and hearing.
research The potential impact of melanosomal pH and metabolism on melanoma
Melanin may help melanoma cells grow by aiding their metabolism.
research EFFECTS OF α-MELANOCYTE-STIMULATING HORMONE AND [8-ARGININE]-VASOTOCIN UPON MELANOGENESIS IN HAIR FOLLICLE MELANOCYTES IN VITRO
α-MSH increases melanin production in moulting hair follicles, while AVT inhibits it.
research Stem cell factor combined with matrix proteins promotes attachment and migration of amelanotic melanocyte from human follicle hair
Stem cell factor and certain proteins help melanocytes from hair follicles move and attach better, aiding vitiligo repigmentation.
research Keratinocyte Cytokine Networks Associated with Human Melanocytic Nevus Development
Keratinocyte cytokines and genetic variations influence the development of moles and skin 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 Melanocytes and Vitiligo (and Hair Graying)
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
research Melatonin-induced inhibition of melanogenesis in hair follicles in vitro [proceedings].
research Interaction between stem cell factor and endothelin-1: effects on melanogenesis in human skin xenografts
SCF and ET-1 together significantly increase skin pigmentation and melanin production.
research Cyclic Nucleotides and the Mediation of Melatonin-induced Inhibition of Melanogenesis in Mammals
Melatonin stops melanin production after tyrosinase action, with cyclic GMP mimicking this effect.
research When the Circadian Clock Meets the Melanin Pigmentary System
Silencing certain circadian clock genes increases skin pigmentation.
research Regulation of melanocyte stem cell behavior by the niche microenvironment
The environment around melanocyte stem cells is key for hair regeneration and color, with certain injuries affecting hair color and potential treatments for pigmentation disorders.
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.
research 1200 The biology of melanocytes
Melanocytes are cells that make skin and hair color and help protect skin from sun damage.
research Biology of melanocytes in mammals
Melanocytes are important for skin and hair color and protect the skin from UV damage.
research Dopa oxidase activity in the hair, skin and ocular melanocytes is increased in the presence of stressed fibroblasts
Stressed fibroblasts greatly increase melanin production in hair, skin, and eye cells, mainly due to a growth factor called bFGF.
research Critical Role of ATP-P2X7 Axis in UV-Induced Melanogenesis
ATP increases melanin production in skin after UV exposure, with the P2X7 receptor being crucial for this process.
research Hair melanocytes as neuro-endocrine sensors—Pigments for our imagination
Hair melanocytes help the skin respond to stress and regulate hair pigmentation.
research Detection of Functionally Active Melanocortin Receptors and Evidence for an Immunoregulatory Activity of α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
αMSH may help regulate immune responses in hair follicles and its disruption could lead to hair loss.
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 Regulation of melanin synthesis in goat hair follicles by melatonin through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway
research The melanocyte photosensory system in the human skin
Human skin's melanocytes respond to light by changing shape, producing pigments and hormones, which may affect sleep patterns.
research Revisiting the role of melatonin in human melanocyte physiology: A skin context perspective
Melatonin affects skin and hair color and protects skin cells, with potential benefits for hair growth and skin health.
research Regulation of melanocyte stem cells in the pigmentation of skin and its appendages: Biological patterning and therapeutic potentials
Understanding how melanocyte stem cells work could lead to new treatments for hair graying and skin pigmentation disorders.
