research References
research Structural and Molecular Hair Abnormalities in Trichothiodystrophy
TTD hair brittleness is caused by multiple structural abnormalities.
research Towards A Free Radical Theory Of Graying: Melanocyte Apoptosis In The Aging Human Hair Follicle As An Indicator Of Oxidative Stress Induced Tissue Damage
Oxidative stress causes hair to gray by damaging and killing pigment cells.
research Melanocyte Stem Cell Maintenance and Hair Graying
Hair graying happens because certain cells aren't maintained properly.
research Melanocyte Subpopulation Turnover During the Human Hair Cycle: An Immunohistochemical Study
Melanocyte activity in hair follicles is linked to the hair growth cycle, being active in growth phases and inactive in rest phases.
research Repigmentation Through Melanocyte Regeneration in Vitiligo
UV light can help stimulate the growth of new pigment cells from hair follicles in people with vitiligo.
research Melanocyte and Gonad Activity as Potential Severity Modifying Factors in C3H/HeJ Mouse Alopecia Areata
Gonadal hormones significantly affect the severity of alopecia areata in mice.
research Revisiting the Role of Melatonin in Human Melanocyte Physiology: A Skin Context Perspective
Melatonin affects skin and hair color and protects skin cells, with potential benefits for hair growth and skin health.
research The Melanocyte Photosensory System in Human Skin
Human skin's melanocytes respond to light by changing shape, producing pigments and hormones, which may affect sleep patterns.
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 Reversal of Premature Hair Graying Treated with a Topical Formulation Containing α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone Agonist (Greyverse Solution 2%)
A woman's premature gray hair turned mostly black again after using Greyverse solution and hair supplements for 5 months.
research Melanocyte Pigmentation – Friend or Foe on the Route to Melanoma
Darker skin provides more protection against UV damage and cancer.
research Casein Kinase 1 Inhibition in Keratinocytes Enhances the Migration of Melanocyte Precursors in the Hair Follicle via KitL/c-Kit Signaling Pathway
Blocking casein kinase 1 in skin cells can help melanocyte precursors move better, potentially helping with conditions like vitiligo or gray hair.
research Tribuloside Acts on the PDE/cAMP/PKA Pathway to Enhance Melanogenesis, Melanocyte Dendricity and Melanosome Transport
Tribuloside can increase skin pigmentation by enhancing melanin production and distribution.
research Beyond the Epidermal-Melanin-Unit: The Human Scalp Anagen Hair Bulb Is Home to Multiple Melanocyte Subpopulations of Variable Melanogenic Capacity
The human scalp has different types of pigment cells in hair follicles with varying abilities to produce pigment.
research Lenalidomide Augments Differentiation of Cultured Hair Follicle Derived Melanocyte Stem Cells Into Functional Melanocytes
Lenalidomide helps hair follicle stem cells turn into melanocytes, which may improve repigmentation in vitiligo.
research Melanocyte Cell States Defined and Visualized in Developing Mouse Skin
Researchers found three types of melanocytes in developing mouse skin, each with different genes and locations.
research Hyperactivation of Sympathetic Nerves Drives Depletion of Melanocyte Stem Cells
Stress causes hair graying by overactivating nerves that deplete color-giving stem cells.
research Hair Follicle Stem Cells Maintain the Differentiation Refractory Niche for Co-Occupant Melanocyte Stem Cells by Regulating Retinoid Metabolic Process
Hair follicle stem cells prevent melanocyte stem cells from differentiating by controlling retinoic acid levels.
research Complications and Limitations of Melanocyte Transplantation
Melanocyte transplantation can safely restore skin color, especially in stable vitiligo, but must be chosen carefully based on the disease phase.
research Mechanisms of Hair Graying: Incomplete Melanocyte Stem Cell Maintenance in the Niche
Hair graying is caused by the loss of pigment cells due to poor maintenance of stem cells in the hair follicle.
research Changes in Different Melanocyte Populations During Hair Follicle Involution (Catagen)
Different melanocyte types in hair follicles either survive or die during the catagen phase.
research Assessing Auditory and Cochlear Function in Alopecia Areata Patients: Exploring the Link to Cochlear Melanocyte Damage
Alopecia areata may be linked to hearing problems, so patients should monitor their hearing.
research Exploring the Role of Melanocyte Subpopulations in Vitiligo
A specific group of early-stage melanocytes is reduced in vitiligo-affected skin, which may explain treatment resistance.
research A Rare Repigmentation Pattern in a Vitiligo Patient: A Clue to an Epidermal Stem-Cell Reservoir of Melanocytes?
Repigmentation in vitiligo may come from melanocyte stem cells in the skin.
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 The Early Repigmentation Pattern of Vitiligo Is Related to the Source of Melanocytes and the Choice of Therapy: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Repigmentation patterns in vitiligo depend on melanocyte source, lesion status, and therapy choice.
research Hair Cycle and Hair Pigmentation: Dynamic Interactions and Changes Associated with Aging
As people age, their hair follicles produce less pigment, leading to gray and white hair, due to factors like reduced enzyme activity and damage to melanocyte DNA.
research Long-Term Follow-Up of Leucoderma Patients Treated with Transplants of Autologous Cultured Melanocytes, Ultrathin Epidermal Sheets, and Basal Cell Layer Suspension
Transplantation is effective for stable leucoderma but not for progressive, widespread vitiligo vulgaris.
