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 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 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 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 Main Plenary Sessions: Summaries of Papers
UK medical students lack dermatology education, liver biopsy patients with risk factors show more fibrosis, and certain fungi resist drugs due to melanin; genetics may influence female hair loss.
research Keratinocytes Regulate the Function of Melanocytes
Keratinocytes control how melanocytes work.
research Non-Psoralen Treatment of Vitiligo. Part II. Less Commonly Used and Experimental Therapies
Some alternative vitiligo treatments show promise, but none are as effective as psoralens and UVA.
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 Biology of Melanocytes in Mammals
Melanocytes are important for skin and hair color and protect the skin from UV damage.
research Regulatory Effects of Thai Rice By-Product Extracts from Oryza Sativa L. Cv. Bue Bang 3 CMU and Bue Bang 4 CMU on Melanin Production, Nitric Oxide Secretion, and Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibition
BB4CMU rice bran oil may help treat hair loss and gray hair.
research Novel Mechanism of UVB-Mediated Pigmentation Through the Axis of ATP-P2X7
Scientists discovered a new way UVB light increases skin pigmentation through the ATP-P2X7 pathway.
research From Hair Color to Diagnosis
Hair color is influenced by genetics and can indicate certain health conditions.
research The Peripheral Clock Regulates Human Pigmentation
Certain genes control the color of human hair by affecting pigment production.
research Aging of the Hair Follicle Pigmentation System
Hair grays due to oxidative stress and fewer functioning melanocytes.
research Vitiligo
Vitiligo causes white skin patches and is linked to autoimmune issues.
research The PDE4 Inhibitor, Apremilast, Suppresses Experimentally Induced Alopecia Areata in Human Skin In Vivo
Apremilast may help treat hair loss in alopecia areata.
research Effect of Adenovirus-Mediated Expression of Sonic Hedgehog Gene on Hair Regrowth in Mice With Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Using a gene therapy with the Sonic Hedgehog gene helps mice regrow hair faster after losing it from chemotherapy.
research Artepillin C and Other Herbal PAK1-Blockers: Effects on Hair Cell Proliferation and Related PAK1-Dependent Biological Function in Cell Culture
Certain herbal compounds, especially from bitter melon, can inhibit cancer growth and promote hair growth by blocking PAK1.
research Novel Anti-Melanogenesis Properties of Polydeoxyribonucleotide, a Popular Wound Healing Booster
Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) may help lighten skin and treat hyperpigmentation.
research Update in Minimally Invasive Periorbital Rejuvenation with a Focus on Platelet-Rich Plasma: A Narrative Review
PRP is effective for improving the appearance around the eyes.
research Applications of Marine Organism-Derived Polydeoxyribonucleotide: Its Potential in Biomedical Engineering
PDRN, derived from salmon sperm, shows promise in healing wounds, reducing inflammation, and regenerating tissues, but more research is needed to understand its mechanisms and improve its use.
research Wnt Signaling Activation: Targets and Therapeutic Opportunities for Stem Cell Therapy and Regenerative Medicine
Wnt activation shows promise for regenerative medicine but requires selective targeting to minimize risks like cancer.
research Reversing Gray Hair: Inspiring the Development of New Therapies Through Research on Hair Pigmentation and Repigmentation Progress
