This study demonstrated that the biomimetic peptide PTP20 may help preserve hair pigmentation and reduce greying by enhancing melanocyte function and increasing melanin production in human hair follicles.

This study found that α-MSH may suppress IFN-γ-driven upregulation of ICAM-1 in human dermal fibroblasts, suggesting potential roles for melanocortins in inflammatory skin disorders beyond collagen synthesis effects.

This study found that α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone may modulate inflammation in skin connective tissue by inhibiting proinflammatory effects in fibroblasts.

This study suggests that αMSH may play a regulatory role in human dermal papilla cells, potentially influencing immune and inflammatory responses in hair follicles, which could contribute to inflammatory alopecia.

This study found that, despite confirming MC1R expression and functional cAMP signalling, α-MSH treatment did not alleviate UVA-induced stress in adult dermal fibroblasts, suggesting that α-MSH-MC1R may not directly protect against UVA-induced photoaging in these cells.
