January 2019 in “Micron” This study observed that fetal hair follicle melanocytes varied in morphology and development stages, with melanosomes undergoing degradation into irregular pigment particles within keratinocytes.

September 2018 in “International journal of research - granthaalayah” This paper introduces a new understanding that the human hair follicle medulla lacks metabolic activity for H2O2 breakdown, indicating that H2O2 decomposition occurs primarily in the cortical areas.

April 2008 in “Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research” This study suggests that Foxn1 expression in keratinocytes influences pigmentation in mice, highlighting differences in the molecular mechanisms between mouse and human pigmentation processes.
8 citations
,
April 1997 in “Experimental Dermatology” This study found that hHbl gene expression is localized in the cortical cells of the human hair shaft and is notably high in pilomatricoma cells transitioning to hair shaft keratinocytes.
