      research 42761 The elusive BAP1 mutation in pediatric melanocytic tumors

      September 2023 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology”
      In this study of pediatric melanocytic lesions, researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital observed no concurrent BAP1 loss and BRAFV600E positivity, characteristics of adult BIMT, suggesting that these tumors may develop at a later age rather than in childhood.
      Signaling by Senescent Melanocytes Hyperactivates Hair Growth

      research Signalling by senescent melanocytes hyperactivates hair growth

      27 citations , June 2023 in “Nature”
      In this study using genetic mouse models, researchers discovered that senescent melanocytes in nevi secrete osteopontin, which activates hair stem cells, enhancing hair growth; this process is mirrored in human hairy nevi, suggesting a potential therapeutic target for regenerative disorders.
