Glossary Follicular Melanogenesis

process where hair follicles produce pigment for hair color

Follicular melanogenesis is the process by which melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing pigment, generate melanin within hair follicles. This melanin gives hair its color, and variations in the type and amount of melanin result in different hair colors.

research Influence of prostaglandin F_2α and its analogues on hair regrowth and follicular melanogenesis in a murine model

103 citations , April 2005 in “Experimental dermatology”

This study found that PGF2alpha analogues and PGE2 stimulated hair follicle activity in mice, with PGF2alpha analogues also linked to potential side effects like poliosis when used as eye treatments.

research ABSENCE OF H2O2 BREAKDOWN IN HUMAN HAIR MEDULLA IMPLICATIONS IN FOLLICULAR MELANOGENESIS

1 citations , 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.

research HGF/SF Increases Number of Skin Melanocytes but Does Not Alter Quality or Quantity of Follicular Melanogenesis

14 citations , November 2013 in “PloS one”

This study found that transgenic mice overexpressing HGF/SF are more susceptible to UVA-induced melanoma, with melanin in the papillary dermis interacting with UVA to induce melanoma.

research Melanogenesis Is Coupled to Murine Anagen: Toward New Concepts for the Role of Melanocytes and the Regulation of Melanogenesis in Hair Growth.

109 citations , July 1993 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

Hair color production is closely linked to the active growth phase of hair in mice and may also influence hair growth itself.

research Melanogenesis‐promoting effect of Cirsium japonicum flower extract in vitro and ex vivo

4 citations , October 2021 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science”

This study found that C. japonicum flower extract significantly increased melanin content and cellular activity in human melanocytes and may improve follicular depigmentation and vitiligo through cAMP signaling.

community Making your own RT1640 in China

4 years ago

RT1640, a combination of cyclosporin A, minoxidil, and RT175, is discussed as a potential treatment for hair regrowth and repigmentation. The unique formulation aims to enhance hair follicle growth and restore hair pigment without the negative side effects of immunosuppressants.

community Information regarding Follicusan DP?

3 upvotes 2 years ago

Follicusan DP is discussed as a potential alternative to Minoxidil without side effects, but information is scarce. It is noted to be of German origin and details on its mechanism are limited.

community Targeted Follicular Finasteride Delivery: A Low-Systemic Strategy

15 upvotes 5 months ago

A peptide-based delivery system for finasteride shows promise in reducing systemic side effects while maintaining hair growth effectiveness. Combining this with other treatments like minoxidil and RU58841 could enhance results with lower systemic absorption.

community What is the deal with "longitudinal partial follicular unit transplantation"

5 upvotes 6 years ago

Longitudinal partial follicular unit transplantation involves extracting part of the donor follicular unit, allowing the donor area to be overharvested without noticeable hair loss. The conversation questions if this method is practiced in clinics or if it's theoretical, and whether it relates to hair cloning or multiplication.

community What is the deal with "longitudinal partial follicular unit transplantation"

3 upvotes 6 years ago

Longitudinal partial follicular unit transplantation involves extracting part of the donor follicular unit, allowing the donor area to maintain hair production and potentially increasing transplant yield. The conversation questions if this method is practiced in clinics or remains theoretical, and whether it relates to hair cloning or multiplication.
