research Beyond the Epidermal-Melanin-Unit: The Human Scalp Anagen Hair Bulb Is Home to Multiple Melanocyte Subpopulations of Variable Melanogenic Capacity

July 2023

In this study, researchers explored the heterogeneity of pigment cells in the human scalp anagen hair follicle bulb and discovered unexpected subpopulations of melanocytes, including immature SOX10-negative cells, highlighting potential non-melanogenic roles or transitional migratory functions that require further investigation.

research Changes in Different Melanocyte Populations During Hair Follicle Involution (Catagen)

40 citations , November 2005 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study suggests that different melanocyte subpopulations in hair follicles have varying patterns of apoptosis and survival during the catagen phase, which may inform models for modulating melanocyte behavior in vivo.

research Expression of the Intermediate Filament Keratin Gene,K15,in the Basal Cell Layers of Epithelia and the Hair Follicle

46 citations , November 1998 in “Experimental Cell Research”

This study found that K15 is variably expressed in sheep and mouse hair follicles, with specific patterns suggesting a role in the early stages of keratinocyte differentiation.

research Lineage Tracing of Hair Follicle Stem Cells in Epidermal Whole Mounts

11 citations , January 2013 in “Methods in molecular biology”
