research Human dermal stem cells differentiate into functional epidermal melanocytes

164 citations , February 2010 in “Journal of Cell Science”

This study demonstrates that stem cells from human foreskins, which lack hair follicles, can differentiate into melanocytes and migrate to the epidermis, potentially altering our understanding of pigmentation disorders.

research Human melanocyte development and melanoma dedifferentiation at single cell resolution

9 citations , May 2020 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)”

This study identifies novel subpopulations of human epidermal melanocytes and specific transcriptional programs that differ from model organisms, providing insights into melanoma dedifferentiation.

research The ‘melanocyte-keratin’ mystery revisited: neither normal human epidermal nor hair follicle melanocytes express keratin 16 or keratin 6in situ

8 citations , June 2009 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

Human melanocytes in skin and hair follicles don't express keratin 16 or 6 naturally.

research Melanocyte Chitosan/Gelatin Composite Fabrication with Human Outer Root Sheath-Derived Cells to Produce Pigment

5 citations , March 2019 in “Scientific Reports”

This study reports that the side population technique can isolate melanocyte stem cells from human hair follicles, potentially allowing them to be used for skin pigmentation repopulation.

research Culture of amelanotic melanocytes derived from human fetal hair follicles

2 citations , June 2013 in “In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology - Animal”

This study successfully cultured human fetal hair follicle-derived melanocytes, which showed high proliferative capabilities and unique morphological characteristics compared to adult-derived cells, potentially advancing hair disease research.

community Prevention of age-related beard graying in humans by the topical application of Eriodictyon angustifolium extract

5 upvotes 4 years ago

Topical application of Eriodictyon angustifolium extract can prevent and reverse age-related beard graying and darken gray hair by increasing melanin production. Sterubin, a component of the extract, also promotes hair pigmentation and protects cells from DNA damage.

community Great news recently for people with hairloss!

in Research/Science 113 upvotes 1 year ago

A potential treatment for alopecia involving a protein that calms hair follicles has shown promise in rats, but skepticism remains about its applicability to humans. Many users express doubt about the timeline for effective hair loss treatments, comparing it to past unfulfilled promises.

community Finally, some real breakthroughs. A comparison of the two leading baldness treatments: PP405 versus ABS-201

106 upvotes 10 months ago

PP405 and ABS-201 are promising treatments for male pattern baldness. PP405 shows rapid hair growth in human trials, while ABS-201 shows significant regrowth in animal studies but is still in early human trials.

community Peptides that Stop Hair Loss? | In-depth Literature Review Video

76 upvotes 2 years ago

Peptides like TB500, KPV, GHK-CU, and BPC-157 are overhyped for hair growth with limited proven effectiveness in humans. Combining peptides with delivery methods like iontophoresis and sonophoresis shows promise, but many claims remain unproven.
