research Spatiotemporal Expression, Distribution, and Processing of POMC and POMC-derived Peptides in Murine Skin

49 citations , July 2000 in “Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry”

This study found cell-specific variations in POMC mRNA and peptide expression in murine skin, suggesting that PC1 and PC2 convertases contribute to differential POMC processing.

research The human skin as a hormone target and an endocrine gland

146 citations , January 2004 in “Hormones”

This review explores the complex endocrine functions of human skin and its role as a peripheral endocrine organ, but reports no new clinical results.

research Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) and Psychodermatology

11 citations , April 2023 in “Skin Health and Disease”

This review discusses the interplay between dermatology and psychology in psychodermatology, highlighting the impact of neuroendocrine stress pathways on skin diseases and the importance of considering skin of color.

research Melanocortins in fibroblast biology – current update and future perspective for dermatology

32 citations , October 2004 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This study found that α-MSH acts as a modulator of inflammatory and fibrogenic responses in human fibroblastic skin cells, indicating potential therapeutic options for fibrotic skin disorders and inflammatory diseases of the hair follicle.

research Hair melanocytes as neuro-endocrine sensors—Pigments for our imagination

43 citations , October 2005 in “Molecular and cellular endocrinology”

This review discusses how the CRH/POMC systems may regulate human hair follicle pigmentation and highlights the concept of "self-similarity" in melanocortin systems at both local and systemic levels, without presenting new experimental results.
