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 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 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 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 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
Cirsium japonicum flower extract increases melanin production and could help treat depigmentation conditions.
research The Potential Impact of Melanosomal pH and Metabolism on Melanoma
Melanin may help melanoma cells grow by aiding their metabolism.
research Exploring the Potential Effect and Mechanisms of Protocatechuic Acid on Human Hair Follicle Melanocytes
Protocatechuic acid can reduce melanin production and boost antioxidant activity in hair follicles.
research Research Techniques Made Simple: Optical Clearing and Three-Dimensional Volumetric Imaging of Skin Biopsies
3D imaging of skin biopsies offers better accuracy but is time-consuming and can't clear melanin.
research A Comparative Study of Skin Transcriptomes and Histological Observations for Black and White Hair Colors of Giant Panda
The study found that giant pandas have more melanin in black hair follicles than white, with gene expression differences that could affect hair color and skin health.
research Differentiation of CD34+ Human Hair Follicle Stem Cells into Functional Melanocytes
CD34+ hair follicle stem cells can become melanin-producing cells for treating skin conditions.
research Striking White Hair
Poliosis causes white hair patches due to lack of melanin.
research Melanocytes and Vitiligo and Hair Graying
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
research Reflectance Spectroscopy for Noninvasive Evaluation of Hair Follicle Stage
Reflectance spectroscopy can noninvasively track hair growth stages by measuring skin reflectance and melanin changes.
research Disorders of Hair Pigmentation
Hair color is determined by melanin and can be affected by genetic conditions like albinism.
