research Loss of Epidermal Melanin Unit Integrity in Human Skin During Melanoma Genesis
Melanoma development can be linked to the breakdown of skin's melanin-producing units.
research Hydrophilic Melanin as a Potential Hair Growth Stimulant: A Secondary Observational Study
Hydrophilic melanin may help hair grow by improving blood flow and regeneration.
research A Preliminary Study of Melanogenic Markers in the Differentiation of the Human Hair Follicle Melanin Unit
The study found markers indicating that cells responsible for hair color are differentiating in specific areas of the hair follicle.
research Expression Patterns of MITF During Human Cutaneous Embryogenesis: Evidence for Bulge Epithelial Expression and Persistence of Dermal Melanoblasts
Melanocyte precursors in human fetal skin follow a specific migration pattern and some remain in the skin's deeper layers.
research A Case of Systemic Mastocytosis: An Ultrastructural and Immunohistochemical Study of Dermal Mast Cells in Relation to Activation of the Epidermal Melanin Unit
Prednisone reduces organ mast cell infiltration but does not alter the abnormal appearance of mast cells in systemic mastocytosis.
research Hair Follicle Pigmentation: Mechanisms and Factors Influencing Melanin Production
Hair color is determined by melanin produced and transferred in hair follicles.
research On the Etiology of Vitiligo and Gray Hair
Melanocytes are destroyed by factors needed for melanin production, causing vitiligo and gray hair.
research Melanogenesis During the Anagen-Catagen-Telogen Transformation of the Murine Hair Cycle
Hair stops producing melanin as it transitions from the growth phase to the resting phase.
research Hair Growth Cycle Affects Hair Follicle Destruction by Ruby Laser Pulses
Ruby laser pulses best destroy hair follicles during the growth phase and effectiveness varies with laser intensity; melanin is key for targeting, and timing treatments can improve results.
research Poliosis Circumscripta: Overview And Underlying Causes
Poliosis circumscripta is a patch of white hair caused by lack of melanin, linked to genetic and acquired conditions.
research Curly Wood and Tiger Tails: The Tiger Tail Phenomenon in Trichothiodystrophy
Tiger tail bands in hair are caused by wavy hair fibers with melanin, unlike straight fibers in normal hair.
research Interaction Between Stem Cell Factor and Endothelin-1: Effects on Melanogenesis in Human Skin Xenografts
SCF and ET-1 together significantly increase skin pigmentation and melanin production.
research Photochemical Alterations in Human Hair: Artificial Irradiation and Investigations of Hair Proteins
Melanin in black hair protects it from sun damage better than light-brown hair.
research Dyeing Regions of Oxidative Hair Dyes in Human Hair Investigated by Nanoscale Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry
Hair dye colors mainly target melanin granules in black hair.
research Critical Role of ATP-P2X7 Axis in UV-Induced Melanogenesis
ATP increases melanin production in skin after UV exposure, with the P2X7 receptor being crucial for this process.
research Human Skin Color: Origin, Variation, and Significance
Human skin and hair color variation is mainly due to melanin produced by a few genes, with melanin protecting against sun damage.
research Glycine Inhibits Melanogenesis in Vitro and Causes Hypopigmentation in Vivo
Glycine reduces skin pigmentation by lowering melanin production.
research Human Hair as a Natural Sun Protection Agent: A Quantitative Study
Hair acts as a significant natural sun barrier, with protection increasing based on hair density, thickness, and melanin presence.
research Hair Pigmentation: A Research Update
Hair color is determined by different melanins and changes with age.
research The Antimycotic Agent Clotrimazole Inhibits Melanogenesis by Accelerating ERK and PI3K/Akt-Mediated Tyrosinase Degradation
Clotrimazole, an antifungal cream, may safely reduce skin pigmentation by breaking down the enzyme needed for making melanin.
research HGF/SF Increases Number of Skin Melanocytes but Does Not Alter Quality or Quantity of Follicular Melanogenesis
HGF/SF increases skin melanocytes but doesn't change melanin type or amount.
research Dopa Oxidase Activity in Hair, Skin, and Ocular Melanocytes Is Increased in the Presence of Stressed Fibroblasts
Stressed fibroblasts greatly increase melanin production in hair, skin, and eye cells, mainly due to a growth factor called bFGF.
research 3,4,5-Tri-O-Caffeoylquinic Acid Promoted Hair Pigmentation Through β-Catenin and Its Target Genes
A substance called TCQA could potentially darken hair by activating certain genes and increasing melanin.
research Efficacy of an Agonist of α-MSH, the Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-20, in Hair Pigmentation
Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-20 may help reduce hair greying and increase melanin production.
research Finasteride Inhibits Melanogenesis Through Regulation of the Adenylate Cyclase in Melanocytes and Melanoma Cells
Finasteride reduces melanin production, possibly treating hyperpigmentation and melanoma, but needs more safety research.
research Qualitative Investigation of Fresh Human Scalp Hair with Full-Field Optical Coherence Tomography
Melanin density affects hair color, and this method can help in cosmetic assessments and diagnosing hair diseases.
research A Review of the Etiologies, Clinical Characteristics, and Treatment of Canities
Gray hair is caused by reduced melanin production or transfer issues, linked to aging and possibly health conditions, with treatments focusing on color camouflage.
research Pigmentation Effect of Rice Bran Extract in Hair Follicle-Like Tissue and Organ Culture Models
Rice bran extract boosts melanin production in hair follicles.
research Melanogenesis-Promoting Effect of Cirsium Japonicum Flower Extract In Vitro and Ex Vivo
