research Local Actions of Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone Regulate Hair Color
TRH in hair follicles can influence hair color by increasing melanin.
research SASH1 Mutations and Hereditary Disorders of Pigmentation: Review of Literature
SASH1 gene mutations are linked to various inherited skin pigmentation disorders.
research An implication for post-transcriptional control: Reciprocal changes of melanocortin receptor type 2 mRNA and protein expression in alopecia areata
Alopecia areata may involve stress-related changes affecting hormone receptors, leading to reduced cortisol production.
research Down-regulation of Melanocortin Receptor Signaling Mediated by the Amino Terminus of Agouti Protein in XenopusMelanophores
Agouti protein affects melanocortin receptors through competitive antagonism and receptor down-regulation.
research Histopathologic Findings of Cutaneous Hyperpigmentation in Addison Disease and Immunostain of the Melanocytic Population
The study found increased skin pigmentation and variable melanocyte density in a patient with Addison's disease.
research 457 Impact of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone on mitochondrial function in human dermal fibroblasts

A new gene mutation causes hereditary coproporphyria with reduced enzyme activity.
research A case of systemic mastocytosis - an ultrastructural and immunohistochemical study of the dermal mast cells in relation to activation of the epidermal melanin unit
Prednisone reduces organ mast cell infiltration but does not alter the abnormal appearance of mast cells in systemic mastocytosis.
research A syndromic extreme insulin resistance caused by biallelic POC1A mutations in exon 10
Mutations in the POC1A gene can cause a unique form of extreme insulin resistance and short stature.
research Non-pigmentary actions of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone--lessons from the cutaneous melanocortin system.
Alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone helps manage skin inflammation and protect against UV damage.
research Melanocytes and Vitiligo (and Hair Graying)
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
