A new method can detect mutations in mice by observing changes in hair follicle cells.

Only skin melanocytes, not other types, can color hair in mice.

Surgical methods like suction blister grafting and split-thickness skin grafting are highly successful for vitiligo repigmentation, but choosing the right patients is crucial for success.

Hair color is determined by different melanins and changes with age.

T-cell reconstitution after thymus transplantation can cause hair whitening and loss.

Human skin and hair color variation is mainly due to melanin produced by a few genes, with melanin protecting against sun damage.

Hair growth is influenced by hormones and goes through different phases; androgens can both promote and inhibit hair growth depending on the body area.

Low oxygen levels improve the function of hair and skin cells when they are in direct contact.

N-acetylcysteine may prevent hair loss caused by chemotherapy.

Overexpression of HDGF in melanocytes does not cause cancer.

Androgenetic alopecia causes hair thinning due to increased androgen activity, treatable with minoxidil and finasteride.

Other common signs, not just the well-known immune cells around hair bulbs, are important for diagnosing hair loss from alopecia areata.

Scalp cooling is the most effective FDA-approved method to prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss, but more research is needed for other treatments.

Keratinocytes control how melanocytes work.

Hair follicles offer promising targets for delivering drugs to treat hair and skin conditions.

The paper concludes that understanding melanocyte development can help in insights into skin diseases and melanoma diversity.

Melanocyte stem cells in hair follicles are key for hair color and could help treat greying and pigment disorders.

Researchers found new hair and nail genes, how hair reacts to UV, differences in white and pigmented hair growth, nerve changes in alopecia, treatments for baldness and alopecia, a toenail condition linked to a genetic disorder, and that nail fungus is more common in people with psoriasis.

As people age, their hair follicles produce less pigment, leading to gray and white hair, due to factors like reduced enzyme activity and damage to melanocyte DNA.

Chemotherapy caused hair loss with specific patterns, but most patients had hair regrowth after treatment, while some had lasting hair loss.

Pigmented casts are common in several hair loss conditions and can help diagnose specific types of alopecia.

Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin, which help protect and maintain it.

Melanocytes are diverse cells important for pigmentation and skin health, influenced by genetics and environment.

Stressed fibroblasts greatly increase melanin production in hair, skin, and eye cells, mainly due to a growth factor called bFGF.

Hair color loss can indicate the effectiveness of a drug targeting the KIT protein in mice and humans.

Gene regulation could revolutionize hair color by altering pigmentation from within.

Melanocyte development from neural crest cells is complex and influenced by many factors, and better understanding could help treat skin disorders.
