Treating vitiligo with stem cells and melanocytes from hair, along with UVB light, works better than without the light.

Oxygen levels affect hair growth and color cells differently when they interact directly.

Melanin granules can be expelled by exocytosis.

Hair follicle cells age faster and lose pigment due to less catalase, causing hair to turn gray.

Injecting alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone in mice improved skin healing and reduced scarring.

Alopecia areata may be linked to hearing problems, so patients should monitor their hearing.

Betamethasone activates and increases the growth of certain skin cells from hair follicles.

Amelanotic melanocytes from hair follicles are immature and likely don't transfer melanosomes to keratinocytes.

Protocatechuic acid can reduce melanin production and boost antioxidant activity in hair follicles.

Melanocytes are destroyed by factors needed for melanin production, causing vitiligo and gray hair.

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.

Hair grays due to oxidative stress and fewer functioning melanocytes.

Notch/RBP-J signaling is crucial for proper placement and timing of melanocyte development in hair follicles.

Hair greying is caused by oxidative stress damaging hair follicles and melanocytes.

Melanocyte precursors in human fetal skin follow a specific migration pattern and some remain in the skin's deeper layers.

Patient-derived melanocytes can potentially treat vitiligo by restoring skin pigmentation.

Hair graying may be caused by stem cell depletion from stress or melanocyte damage.

FFA patients have fewer melanocytes and thinner skin compared to others.

The study found increased skin pigmentation and variable melanocyte density in a patient with Addison's disease.

White hair follicles in vitiligo have fewer and less functional melanocytes.

Beige and leaden pigment genes act within melanocytes, affecting pigment patterns.

New treatments for vitiligo may focus on protecting melanocyte stem cells from stress and targeting specific pathways involved in the condition.

Langerhans cells and melanocytes migrate to the skin and hair follicles during early human development.

Segmental vitiligo affects hair follicle melanocytes, causing small, uniform depigmented spots.

The document concludes that better targeted treatments are needed for wound healing, and single-cell technologies may improve cell-based therapies.

Vitiligo is a skin condition causing white spots, more common in women, often starts before age 20, and can affect mental health.

Hair color is determined by melanin produced and transferred in hair follicles.

Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin, which help protect and maintain it.

The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.

Melatonin is important for skin health and protection, and can be made by the skin or applied to it.
