research Steroidogenic Factor-1 Lineage Origin of Skin Lesions in Carney Complex Syndrome
Skin lesions in Carney complex are likely caused by a specific group of skin cells that promote pigment production due to a genetic mutation.
research Steroidogenic Factor-1 Lineage Origin of Skin Lesions in Carney Complex Syndrome
Skin lesions in Carney Complex are caused by a gene change in some skin cells that leads to increased pigmentation and may lead to tumors.
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 Casein Kinase 1 Inhibition in Keratinocytes Enhances the Migration of Melanocyte Precursors in the Hair Follicle via KitL/c-Kit Signaling Pathway
Blocking casein kinase 1 in skin cells can help melanocyte precursors move better, potentially helping with conditions like vitiligo or gray hair.
research Activation of Wnt Signaling in Hematopoietic Regeneration
Wnt10b helps blood stem cells grow after injury.

A new mRNA variant of the SCF gene in sheep skin produces a shorter, different protein.
research Intrinsic and Extrinsic Factors Associated with Hair Graying and Therapeutic Potential of Plant Extracts and Phytochemicals
Plant extracts may help prevent or reverse hair graying.
research Pigmentation of Regenerated Hairs After Wounding
Regenerated hairs can regain their color if the wound occurs during a certain stage of hair growth, and this process is helped by specific skin cells and proteins.
research Hoxc-Dependent Mesenchymal Niche Heterogeneity Drives Regional Hair Follicle Regeneration
Hoxc genes control hair growth through Wnt signaling.
