research Hair Matters in Melanoma Biology
The document concludes that the immune-inhibitory environment of the hair follicle may prevent melanoma development.
research How the Stress of Fight or Flight Turns Hair White
Stress turns hair white by depleting color-giving cells in hair follicles through a specific neurotransmitter related to the body's stress response.
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 Preservation of Melanoblasts in White Hair Follicles of Segmental Vitiligo Lesions: A Preliminary Study
White hair follicles in vitiligo have fewer and less functional melanocytes.
research Site of Beige and Leaden Pigment Gene Expression Determined by Recombinant Embryonic Skin Grafts and Aggregation Mouse Chimaeras Employing Sash Homozygotes
Beige and leaden pigment genes act within melanocytes, affecting pigment patterns.
research Alopecia Areata: Hyperactivity of the Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Adrenal Axis Is a Myth?
The study found no significant difference in stress hormone levels between people with alopecia areata and healthy individuals, suggesting that the disease is not caused by an overactive stress response system.
research Spatiotemporal Labeling of Melanocytes in Mice
The research showed how melanocytes develop, move, and respond to UV light, and their stem cells' role in hair color and skin cancer risk.
research Dermal Papilla Regulation of Hair Growth and Pigmentation
Dermal papilla cells are key for hair growth and color, influencing hair type and size, and their interaction with stem cells could help treat hair loss and color disorders.
research Photobiomodulation for Skin Pigmentation Disorders: A Dual-Function Treatment
Light therapy is effective and safe for treating skin color disorders like vitiligo and dark spots.
research The Psychology of Gray Hair
Stress can cause hair to turn gray by depleting pigment-producing cells through the release of a stress hormone.
research Premature Greying of Hair (Premature Canities): A Concern for Parent and Child
Genetics, stress, and health issues can cause early hair greying, which affects self-esteem, and there's no cure, only hair dye.
research Culture of Amelanotic Melanocytes Derived from Human Fetal Hair Follicles
Melanocytes from human fetal hair follicles were successfully cultured, showing potential for hair disease research and clinical use.
research Disorders of Pigmentation in Infants and Children

research Narrow-Band Ultraviolet B Phototherapy in Vitiligo
NB-UVB phototherapy is an effective and safe treatment for vitiligo, especially on hands and feet, and can be improved with tacrolimus.
research Stem Cells and Their Niches
The document concludes that stem cells and their environments are crucial for skin and hair health and have potential for medical treatments.
research Loss Of Dicer In Newborn Melanocytes Leads To Premature Hair Graying And Changes In Integrin Expression
Removing Dicer from pigment cells in newborn mice causes early hair graying and changes in cell migration molecules.
research The Role of Zinc in Skin Physiology – Relevance for the Pathogenesis and Treatment of Vitiligo
Zinc may be linked to vitiligo development and severity, but its role is not fully understood and zinc supplementation benefits are unclear.
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 Understanding Cancer Cells of Origin in Cutaneous Tumors
