60-90 / 207 results research Human Hair Follicle and Epidermal Melanocytes Exhibit Striking Differences in Their Aging Profile Involving Catalase
Hair follicle cells age faster and lose pigment due to less catalase, causing hair to turn gray.
research Do Hair Bulb Melanocytes Undergo Apoptosis During Hair Follicle Regression (Catagen)?
Hair follicle melanocytes die during hair regression.
research Therapeutic Potential of Patient iPSC-Derived Melanocytes in Autologous Transplantation
Patient-derived melanocytes can potentially treat vitiligo by restoring skin pigmentation.
research An Exclusive Review of Melatonin Effects on Mammalian Melanocytes and Melanoma
Melatonin may inhibit melanoma growth and has potential as a cancer therapy aid, but its effects on human skin pigmentation need more research.
research Mechanisms of Repigmentation Induced by Photobiomodulation Therapy in Vitiligo
Light therapy using helium-neon lasers can help restore skin color in vitiligo by promoting skin cell growth and movement.
research Vitiligo: A Comprehensive Overview
Vitiligo is a skin condition causing white spots, more common in women, often starts before age 20, and can affect mental health.
research The Cutaneous Serotoninergic/Melatoninergic System: Securing a Place Under the Sun
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin, which help protect and maintain it.
research Melanocyte and Gonad Activity as Potential Severity Modifying Factors in C3H/HeJ Mouse Alopecia Areata
Gonadal hormones significantly affect the severity of alopecia areata in mice.
research Hair Matters in Melanoma Biology
The document concludes that the immune-inhibitory environment of the hair follicle may prevent melanoma development.
research Field Melanin Mapping of the Hairless Scalp
The study found a specific pattern of uneven melanin distribution on balding scalps that could help understand skin diseases caused by light exposure.
research Segmental Vitiligo: Characteristics, Treatment, and Prognosis
Segmental Vitiligo is a stable, early-onset form of vitiligo that responds well to early treatment and is ideal for repigmentation studies.
research Complications and Limitations of Melanocyte Transplantation
Melanocyte transplantation can safely restore skin color, especially in stable vitiligo, but must be chosen carefully based on the disease phase.
research Hair Repigmentation as a Melanoma Warning Sign
Hair turning darker can be a sign of skin cancer.
research MTORC1 Activity Negatively Regulates Human Hair Follicle Growth and Pigmentation
High mTORC1 activity slows hair growth and causes it to lose color.
research Immunopathology of the Human Hair Follicle
The document concludes that immune system abnormalities cause alopecia areata, but the exact process is still not completely understood.
research Melanin Pigmentary Disorders: Treatment Update
Treatments for melanin disorders exist, but more effective options needed.
research Serotoninergic And Melatoninergic Systems Are Fully Expressed In Human Skin
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin.
research Regulation of Melanocyte Stem Cell Behavior by the Niche Microenvironment
The environment around melanocyte stem cells is key for hair regeneration and color, with certain injuries affecting hair color and potential treatments for pigmentation disorders.
research Darier Sign: A Historical Note
Dermatologists diagnose and manage melanoma more effectively than general practitioners.
research Regional Dermatology: Hair and Nail Biology, Hair Loss Conditions, and Dermatological Issues of the Mouth and Genital Regions
