This study used electron microscopy to identify a distinct dendritic cell in the human epidermis, similar to the melanocyte, with unique structural features and variable melanin content.

In this study, the combination of SCF and ET-1 was found to significantly enhance skin pigmentation and melanin content in human skin xenografts on SCID mice compared to either treatment alone.

This animal study observed that while topical MBEH and intraperitoneal phenol induced hair graying in eumelanic mice, they had little effect on pheomelanic mice, and amcinonide reduced certain epidermal melanocytes in both.

The researchers concluded that hairless dogs can serve as an effective model for studying hypertrophic scarring due to their development of scars with morphological similarities to human hypertrophic scars.

In this study, the researchers optimized a method for culturing melanocyte precursors from hair follicles and found that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 significantly promotes their differentiation and melanin synthesis.
