research Melanocyte Stem Cells: A Melanocyte Reservoir in Hair Follicles for Hair and Skin Pigmentation
Melanocyte stem cells in hair follicles are key for hair color and could help treat greying and pigment disorders.
research Hair Follicle Stem Cells: Walking the Maze
Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair and skin regeneration, can be reprogrammed, and have potential therapeutic uses, but also carry a risk of cancer.
research Aging of the Hair Follicle Pigmentation System
Hair grays due to oxidative stress and fewer functioning melanocytes.
research Progressive Alopecia Reveals Decreasing Stem Cell Activation Probability During Aging of Mice with Epidermal Deletion of DNA Methyltransferase 1
Mice lacking a key DNA methylation enzyme in skin cells have a lower chance of activating stem cells necessary for hair growth, leading to progressive hair loss.
research A Neuroendocrinological Perspective on Human Hair Follicle Pigmentation
Brain hormones significantly affect hair color and could potentially be used to prevent or reverse grey hair.
research Keratinocytes Regulate the Function of Melanocytes
Keratinocytes control how melanocytes work.
research Keratinocyte Stem Cells but Not Melanocyte Stem Cells Are the Primary Target for Radiation-Induced Hair Graying
Radiation mainly affects keratinocyte stem cells, not melanocyte stem cells, causing hair to gray.
research Age-Related Hair Pigment Loss
Graying hair happens due to aging and might be delayed by new treatments.
research Hair Follicles and Their Role in Skin Health
Hair follicles are essential for skin health, aiding in hair growth, wound healing, and immune function.
research Compilation of a Comprehensive Gene Panel for Systematic Assessment of Genes That Govern an Individual’s Drug Responses
Researchers found that most genes affecting drug responses are not fully covered by commercial SNP chips, suggesting the need for more comprehensive tools to optimize drug selection based on genetics.
research Repigmentation of Gray Hair After Thyroid Hormone Treatment
Gray hair regained color after thyroid hormone treatment.
research Melanocytes and Vitiligo and Hair Graying

research Primary Scarring Alopecias: Review of Histopathological Findings of 37 Patients from the Department of Dermatology at the Hospital das Clínicas, Faculty of Medicine, University of São Paulo from 2000 to 2005
Accurate diagnosis of cicatricial alopecias requires thorough scalp examination and multiple biopsy techniques.
research Antigen Presenting Cells in the Skin of a Patient with Hair Loss and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Antigen presenting cells around hair follicles are crucial in SLE-related hair loss.
research Hair Follicle Pigmentation: Mechanisms and Factors Influencing Melanin Production
Hair color is determined by melanin produced and transferred in hair follicles.
research The Chemokine SDF-1/CXCL12 Regulates the Migration of Melanocyte Progenitors in Mouse Hair Follicles
SDF-1/CXCL12 and its receptor CXCR4 are crucial for melanocyte movement in mouse hair follicles.
research Clinical Pathobiology of Radiotherapy-Induced Alopecia: A Guide Toward More Effective Prevention and Hair Follicle Repair
The conclusion suggests that focusing on certain cellular pathways may improve the prevention and repair of hair loss caused by radiotherapy.
research Melanoma: Genetic Abnormalities, Tumor Progression, Clonal Evolution, And Tumor-Initiating Cells
Melanoma's complexity requires personalized treatments due to key genetic mutations and tumor-initiating cells.
research Telocytes in Human Skin – Are They Involved in Skin Regeneration?
Telocytes might help with skin repair and regeneration.
research Stem Cells and Aberrant Signaling of Molecular Systems in Skin Aging
Skin aging is caused by stem cell damage and can potentially be delayed with treatments like antioxidants and stem cell therapy.
research Skipping of Exons by Premature Termination of Transcription and Alternative Splicing Within Intron-5 of the Sheep SCF Gene: A Novel Splice Variant
A new mRNA variant of the SCF gene in sheep skin produces a shorter, different protein.
