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

Moles on the scalp are more common in people with more body moles and atypical moles, but not linked to balding.

This study observed that albino rats, despite not producing melanin, have melanocytes localized in specific skin areas of their hair matrix, suggesting that gene expression analysis of their skin should consider regional differences in melanocyte presence.

In this study, different types of catagen in the C57BL/6 mouse model exhibited varying effects on hair follicle melanocytes and melanin distribution, with spontaneous and dexamethasone-induced catagen showing pigment incontinence, while cyclophosphamide-induced catagen retained dendritic melanocytes but increased ectopic melanin.

This study suggests that the absence of alpha5(IV)/alpha6(IV) chains in certain subepidermal basement membrane spots may relate to interactions with melanocytes in human skin.
