This study found that the patchwork mutation in mice affects melanocyte survival in hair follicles, leading to a variegated coat pattern without partially pigmented hairs due to a community effect among melanoblasts.

This review provides a comprehensive overview of melatonin's physiological roles, effects, and clinical implications, but it does not present new experimental findings.

This case report suggests that melanin, as an energy generator, may offer a new perspective on studying and treating autoimmune disorders such as alopecia areata.

This study found that mutant mice with the we/we wal/wal genotype exhibit significant defects in hair shaft structure and epidermis stratification, correlating with postnatal alopecia symptoms.

This study in mice found that MEIS2 expression in mesenchymal dermal cells is crucial for the formation of whiskers and the initial steps of epithelial placode development, independently of sensory nerve innervation or Foxd1 expression.

This study observed that 13 out of 38 children with methylmalonic and propionic acidaemia exhibited specific cutaneous manifestations, suggesting these conditions may include skin symptoms more often than previously thought.

This study observed that Merkel cells and their associated somatosensory axons in mouse skin exhibit significant plasticity, remodeling dynamically to maintain homeostasis. Axonal branching patterns were notably influenced by Merkel cells, suggesting epithelial-neural interactions play a key role in axonal plasticity and patterning.

This review suggests that melasma may be a photoaging skin disorder affecting genetically predisposed individuals, which could significantly influence its treatment and prevention strategies.

This review explores recent findings on the roles of melanocyte and melanocyte stem cells in the hair follicle, highlighting their importance for skin health and potential applications in regenerative medicine, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that in mutant NRAS melanoma, MEK inhibitors led to increased AKT signaling and reduced MIG6, a change that may enhance cell migration and invasiveness.

This study found that melatonin implants in cashmere goats significantly altered the expression pattern and co-expression of miRNAs, suggesting a possible role in inducing a second growth of cashmere.

This study found that DNA hypermethylation was present in melasma lesions, and treatments with sunscreen, niacinamide, and retinoic acid were associated with decreased methylation and clinical improvement.

This study found that melatonin supplementation significantly promoted hair regeneration in a hair depilation mouse model by up-regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in dermal papillae and hair follicle stem cells, suggesting potential implications for human hair loss treatments.

This study found that the FER/MLO signaling module plays a crucial role in calcium oscillations and ROS production in root hair tip growth, with the MLO15 protein regulating these processes and restoring disrupted growth and signaling in fer mutant root hairs.

This study introduced hydrogel microneedles loaded with palladium nanoparticles, which utilize the inherent cytotoxicity of polyethyleneimine to enhance the effectiveness of doxorubicin in treating melanoma, achieving a tumor inhibition rate of up to 98% in a murine model.

This study found that continuous implantation of melatonin in cashmere goats advanced the growth cycle of cashmere by inducing secondary hair follicle development and altering gene expression.

This review discusses the role of melanocyte stem cells in skin pigmentation and potential regenerative therapies, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that Agaricus bisporus-derived β-Glucan particles showed potential as an anticancer, antimicrobial, and antioxidant agent, inducing apoptosis and disrupting mitochondrial membrane potential in cervical cancer HeLa cells.

This research observed that, in domestic cats like Maine Coon and Rex breeds, a "piebald" coat color pattern is likely influenced by the Silver locus, although the specific mutations involved are yet to be published.

This study identified ALDH1A1 as a regulator of melanogenesis and suggests its inhibition, through agents like cyanamide, may be a promising therapeutic approach for treating hyperpigmentation disorders such as melasma.

This review discusses the migration and colonization of melanocytes from the neural crest in mammals and reports no new experimental results.

In a study on wound healing, researchers described injectable POEGMA‐DA hydrogels as a promising non-toxic alternative to traditional wound closure methods, showing effective tissue adhesion and enhanced regeneration of skin structures in a mouse model without significant inflammation.

In this study, researchers observed that Melan A, a melanocytic marker, was significantly expressed in hair follicles of alopecia areata patients and correlated with immune infiltrates, suggesting melanocytes might contribute to the autoimmune response in this condition.

This article reviews how environmental pollutants like glyphosate, fluoride, and electromagnetic fields may contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction and adverse health effects such as cancer and chronic diseases, but reports no new research findings.

This study utilized a pigmented human epidermal equivalent model to incorporate melanocytes into the epidermis and found enhanced differentiation potential compared to conventional in vitro systems, reflecting in vivo cellular trajectories and highlighting melanocyte-to-keratinocyte communication pathways.

This study found that MRL/MpJ mouse dorsal skin wounds heal with similar scar formation and collagen deposition as C57bl/6 and Balb/c mice.

This review highlights Malassezia's dual role as both protective and pathogenic within the hair follicle ecosystem, noting its involvement in skin disorders and potential cancer progression, and calls for further studies to develop targeted treatments for related conditions.

This review discusses recent research on melanocyte stem cells and explores the differences between mouse and human skin, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that full-length Agouti protein modulates melanocortin receptor signaling through a dual mechanism involving competitive antagonism and receptor down-regulation, whereas the carboxyl-terminal fragment acts solely as a competitive antagonist.
