30 / 1000+ resultsresearch The Psychology of Gray Hair
Stress can cause hair to turn gray by depleting pigment-producing cells through the release of a stress hormone.
research Mechanisms of Hair Graying: Incomplete Melanocyte Stem Cell Maintenance in the Niche
Hair graying is caused by the loss of pigment cells due to poor maintenance of stem cells in the hair follicle.
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 Identification of Hair Shaft Progenitors That Create a Niche for Hair Pigmentation
Scientists found cells in hair that are key for growth and color.
research From Neural Crest Cells to Melanocytes: Cellular Plasticity During Development and Beyond
Melanocyte development from neural crest cells is complex and influenced by many factors, and better understanding could help treat skin disorders.
research Melanocytes: The New Black
Melanocytes are crucial for skin pigmentation and can affect conditions like melanoma, vitiligo, and albinism, as well as hair color and hearing.
research Keratinocytes Regulate the Function of Melanocytes
Keratinocytes control how melanocytes work.
research Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Regulates the Proliferation and Differentiation of Human Melanocytes in a Differentiation-Stage-Specific Manner
PDGF-BB helps young melanocytes grow but stops mature ones from growing, and it makes melanocytes more specialized.
research Heterogeneity of Neural Crest-Derived Melanocytes
Melanocytes are diverse cells important for pigmentation and skin health, influenced by genetics and environment.
research Synergistic Effect of Rice Bran Extract and Extremely Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Fields on Dermal Papilla/Melanocytes in Melanogenesis
Rice bran extract and low-frequency electromagnetic fields together may help treat vitiligo and white hair.
research Biology of Melanocytes in Mammals
Melanocytes are important for skin and hair color and protect the skin from UV damage.
research Melanocytes and Vitiligo and Hair Graying
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
research Lenalidomide Augments Differentiation of Cultured Hair Follicle Derived Melanocyte Stem Cells Into Functional Melanocytes
Lenalidomide helps hair follicle stem cells turn into melanocytes, which may improve repigmentation in vitiligo.
research Paracrine Secreted Frizzled-Related Protein 4 Inhibits Melanocyte Differentiation in Hair Follicle
A protein called sFRP4 from skin cells stops the development of pigment-producing cells in hair.
research Human Dermal Stem Cells Differentiate Into Functional Epidermal Melanocytes
Human dermal stem cells can become functional skin pigment cells.
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 Aging of the Hair Follicle Pigmentation System
Hair grays due to oxidative stress and fewer functioning melanocytes.
research Age-Induced Hair Greying: The Multiple Effects of Oxidative Stress
Hair greying is caused by oxidative stress damaging hair follicles and melanocytes.
research The Distribution of Melanocytes and the Degradation of Melanosomes in Fetal Hair Follicles
Fetal hair follicles have melanocytes with melanosomes at different stages, which are broken down into pigment particles in keratinocytes.
research Spatiotemporal Labeling of Melanocytes in Mice
The research showed how melanocytes develop, move, and respond to UV light, and their stem cells' role in hair color and skin cancer risk.
research Culturing of Melanocytes from the Equine Hair Follicle Outer Root Sheath
Researchers successfully grew horse skin cells that produce pigment from hair follicle samples.
research Loss Of Dicer In Newborn Melanocytes Leads To Premature Hair Graying And Changes In Integrin Expression
Removing Dicer from pigment cells in newborn mice causes early hair graying and changes in cell migration molecules.
research Molecular Regulation of Melanocyte Senescence
The article concludes that while we understand a lot about how melanocytes age and how this can prevent cancer, there are still unanswered questions about certain pathways and genes involved.
research Premature Graying of Hair: Causes, Associations, and Treatments
Premature graying of hair may suggest health issues and currently lacks effective treatments.
research Exploring the Role of Melanocyte Subpopulations in Vitiligo
A specific group of early-stage melanocytes is reduced in vitiligo-affected skin, which may explain treatment resistance.
research Coordinated Activation of Wnt in Epithelial and Melanocyte Stem Cells Initiates Pigmented Hair Regeneration
Wnt signaling is crucial for pigmented hair regeneration by controlling stem cell activation and differentiation.
