This study found that melatonin receptor genes play a key regulatory role in the development of goose skin feather follicles during embryonic development.

This study found that melatonin treatment significantly increased wool production and hair follicle activity in German angora rabbits, with larger effects seen in defleeced animals and those treated in July.

This study found that carvone, a plant-derived compound, decreases melanin content and inhibits melanoma cell proliferation through the cAMP pathway, suggesting potential benefits for treating melanomas and other hyperpigmentation disorders.

This book critiques Dr. Conroy's theory on Morgellon's disease, highlighting a lack of scientific evidence and detailing his unverified claims about fungal organisms attracted to cocaine.

This case report describes a rare instance of melanocytic matricoma, a benign pigmented papule found in sun-damaged skin of an elderly individual, highlighting its distinct clinical and pathological features.

This study found that patients with the MITF p.E318K variant are more likely to develop multiple primary melanomas and dysplastic nevi with uncommon dermoscopic patterns compared to non-carriers.

This study found that topical tacalcitol improved roughness and scaling in erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli, although it was less effective for facial erythema.

This study suggests that the structure and function of mouse melanocytes in the epidermis and hair bulb are influenced by genetic factors and local tissue environment, including hormones and growth factors.

In this study, oral and topical tranexamic acid significantly improved melasma symptoms in 28 female patients, with all showing over 25% improvement and 50% achieving good improvement, while 92.86% experienced no side effects, suggesting it is an effective and safe treatment.

This meta-analysis found that combined BRAF and MEK inhibitor treatment in melanoma patients is linked to increased all-grade rash but reduced risks of several other dermatological toxicities compared to BRAF inhibition alone.

This study in adult mice found that somatosensory axons innervating Merkel cells in the skin are highly plastic, with significant remodeling in response to epithelial turnover, and that Merkel cells play a role in limiting axonal branching and promoting their maturation.

This study found that the development and differentiation of Merkel cells in C57BL mouse embryos' dorsolateral skin are linked to tylotrich follicle formation rather than to neural influences.

This review discusses the causes and diagnostic process for facial hypermelanosis, emphasizing the need to rule out systemic disorders like Addison's disease; it reports no new clinical findings.

Melatonin stops melanin production after tyrosinase action, with cyclic GMP mimicking this effect.

This study found that injecting melatonin in female goats did not significantly affect follicle characteristics but did improve cashmere yield, potentially by enhancing secondary follicle growth and extending the cashmere growth period.

In this case report, a Danish family with monilethrix showed varying symptoms, diagnosed via dermatoscopy, microscopy, and gene sequencing. The study highlights that while no cure exists, oral minoxidil shows promise in a single case, and reducing hair trauma remains key for management.

This review discusses the implications of renaming myelodysplastic syndromes as "myelodysplastic neoplasms" and argues that the "low-risk" label may misrepresent patient experiences and hinder research.

This review discusses the role of intrinsic skin signals, rather than serum signals, in regulating melanin synthesis and hair pigmentation, but reports no new experimental data.

This study found that deleting the Mof gene in mouse skin leads to severe defects in skin cell self-renewal, differentiation, and hair follicle growth, indicating that MOF is crucial for mitochondrial and ciliary gene expression and essential for skin development.

High MUC-18/MCAM levels in blood indicate a worse outlook for melanoma patients.

This study found that melatonin at 0.2 g/L for 72 hours most effectively enhances cashmere growth in Liaoning cashmere goats by upregulating the lncRNA MTC, which activates NF-kB signaling.

This study found that cornifin-alpha/SPRR1 expression in mouse skin increases significantly in response to phorbol ester treatment and in papillomas and squamous cell carcinomas, particularly in differentiated areas.

This study explored the immune environment of the hair follicle's bulge region and suggested that its unique signaling may prevent melanoma formation by lacking necessary proinflammatory signals for full oncogenic transformation, indicating potential strategies for melanoma prevention by replicating this immune-privileged environment.

This study investigated the Mandarin duck as a model for understanding lifelong developmental changes, finding that male sail feather morphogenesis involves a combination of local morphogenetic programs, epigenetic regulation, and hormonal cues, with increased female estrogen levels observed before the mating season.

This study found that conditional deletion of Mof in mice resulted in severe defects in skin development, including compromised epidermal differentiation and hair growth, leading to perinatal lethality.

This study found that Merkel cells in dogs are most numerous in sensory receptive areas like oral mucosa and facial skin, indicating a potential role in tactile sensation.

This ex vivo study reported that melatonin significantly improved certain aging biomarkers in aged human skin, including reduced mTORC1 activity, increased fibrillin-1, and enhanced collagen and elastic fiber organization, though other key biomarkers remained unchanged.
