research Effect of Immunization Against Melatonin on Seasonal Fleece Growth in Feral Goats
Immunizing goats against melatonin can temporarily change their cashmere growth cycles and increase fleece production.
research Roles of Melatonin in Goat Hair Follicle Stem Cell Proliferation and Pluripotency Through Regulating the Wnt Signaling Pathway
Melatonin helps goat hair stem cells grow and maintain their ability to become different cell types.
research Platelet-Rich Plasma Is a Promising Therapy for Melasma
Platelet-rich plasma therapy could be an effective treatment for melasma with minimal side effects.
research Update on Melasma—Part I: Pathogenesis
Melasma's causes include genetics, sun exposure, hormones, and oxidative stress, and understanding these can help create better treatments.
research Functionally Distinct Melanocyte Populations Revealed by Reconstitution of Hair Follicles in Mice
Only skin melanocytes, not other types, can color hair in mice.
research In Vivo Role of Vitamin D Receptor Signaling in UVB-Induced DNA Damage and Melanocyte Homeostasis
Vitamin D receptor helps protect skin cells from UV damage and supports their growth.
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 Extradermal Melanin Transfer? Lack of Macroscopic Spleen Melanization in Old C57BL/6 Mice with De-Synchronized Hair Cycle
Old C57BL/6 mice with unsynchronized hair cycles show less melanin in their spleens.
research Evaluation of Melatonin and Bromocryptine Administration in Spanish Goats
Melatonin treatment may increase cashmere production in Spanish goats.
research The Effect of Melatonin Implants Administered from December Until April on Plasma Prolactin, Triiodothyronine, and Thyroxine Concentrations and on the Timing of the Spring Moult in Cashmere Goats
Melatonin implants can change the seasonal prolactin levels and hair growth in adult cashmere goats but not in juveniles, and don't delay spring moult for better fiber harvesting.
research Melasma And Other Skin Manifestations Of Oral Contraceptives
Oral contraceptives often cause melasma and other skin issues.
research Expression and Functional Relevance of Melatonin Receptors in Hair Follicle Biology
Melatonin receptors in hair follicles help regulate hair growth and could treat hair loss.
research Time-Course RNA-Seq Analysis Reveals Stage-Specific and Melatonin-Triggered Gene Expression Patterns During the Hair Follicle Growth Cycle in Capra Hircus
Melatonin affects gene expression in goat hair follicles, potentially increasing cashmere production.
research Melatonin Regulates the Periodic Growth of Cashmere by Upregulating the Expression of Wnt10b and β-Catenin in Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goats
Melatonin makes cashmere grow earlier and more by increasing certain gene activity in goats.
research Melatonin Supplement Induced Hair Follicle Development in Offspring Rex Rabbits
Melatonin given to pregnant rabbits improved their babies' fur quality.
research Histopathologic Findings of Cutaneous Hyperpigmentation in Addison's Disease and Immunostain of the Melanocytic Population
The study found increased skin pigmentation and variable melanocyte density in a patient with Addison's disease.
research Selected Variants of the Melanocortin 4 Receptor Gene (MC4R) Do Not Confer Susceptibility to Female Pattern Hair Loss
MC4R gene variants not linked to female hair loss.
research Effects of Melatonin Administration to Cashmere Goats on Cashmere Production and Hair Follicle Characteristics in Two Consecutive Cashmere Growth Cycles
Melatonin improved cashmere production in goats during the first cycle but had no lasting effects on the next cycle.
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 Immunohistopathological Analysis of Frizzled-4-Positive Immature Melanocytes from Hair Follicles of Patients with Rhododenol-Induced Leukoderma
Rhododendrol in skin-whitening products can cause skin depigmentation and immune reactions.
research Heterogeneity of Neural Crest-Derived Melanocytes
Melanocytes are diverse cells important for pigmentation and skin health, influenced by genetics and environment.
research Hair Matters in Melanoma Biology
The document concludes that the immune-inhibitory environment of the hair follicle may prevent melanoma development.
research Effect of Melatonin Administration to Lactating Cashmere Goats on Milk Production of Dams and Hair Follicle Development in Their Offspring
Melatonin increases cashmere quality in goats but reduces their milk production and doesn't affect their offspring's hair growth.
research The Effects of Melatonin Treatment on Wool Production and Hair Follicle Cycle in Angora Rabbits
Melatonin treatment increases wool production and improves fiber quality in angora rabbits.
research Dermal Papilla Cells and Melanocytes Response to Physiological Oxygen Levels Depends on Their Interactions
Low oxygen levels improve the function of hair and skin cells when they are in direct contact.
research Stem Cell and Extracellular Matrix-Related Molecules Increase Following Melatonin Treatment in the Skin of Postmenopausal Rats
Melatonin treatment helps improve skin health in postmenopausal rats.
research Field Melanin Mapping of the Hairless Scalp
The study found a specific pattern of uneven melanin distribution on balding scalps that could help understand skin diseases caused by light exposure.
