research Age-Induced Hair Greying: The Multiple Effects of Oxidative Stress
Hair greying is caused by oxidative stress damaging hair follicles and melanocytes.
research Segmental Vitiligo with Confetti-Like Peripheral Depigmentation
Segmental vitiligo affects hair follicle melanocytes, causing small, uniform depigmented spots.
research Hypopigmentation in Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia
FFA patients have fewer melanocytes and thinner skin compared to others.
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 Stabilization of Beta-Catenin Promotes Melanocyte Specification at the Expense of the Schwann Cell Lineage
Activating β-catenin increases melanocytes and decreases Schwann cells.
research Molecular Regulation of Melanocyte Senescence
The article concludes that while we understand a lot about how melanocytes age and how this can prevent cancer, there are still unanswered questions about certain pathways and genes involved.
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 hair bulb contains different types of melanocytes with varying abilities to produce melanin.

The document concludes that better targeted treatments are needed for wound healing, and single-cell technologies may improve cell-based therapies.
research Vitiligo: A Comprehensive Overview
Vitiligo is a skin condition causing white spots, more common in women, often starts before age 20, and can affect mental health.
research Hair Follicle Pigmentation: Mechanisms and Factors Influencing Melanin Production
Hair color is determined by melanin produced and transferred in hair follicles.
research The Cutaneous Serotoninergic/Melatoninergic System: Securing a Place Under the Sun
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin, which help protect and maintain it.
research Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin
The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.
research Coordinated Activation of Wnt in Epithelial and Melanocyte Stem Cells Initiates Pigmented Hair Regeneration
Wnt signaling is crucial for pigmented hair regeneration by controlling stem cell activation and differentiation.
research On the Role of Melatonin in Skin Physiology and Pathology
Melatonin is important for skin health and protection, and can be made by the skin or applied to it.
research Androgens and Hair Growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Biology of Estrogens in Skin: Implications for Skin Aging
Estrogens can improve skin aging but carry risks; more research is needed on safer treatments.

TRP channels in the skin are important for sensation and health, and targeting them could help treat skin disorders.
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 Characterization of the Serotoninergic System in the C57BL/6 Mouse Skin
Mouse skin can produce and process serotonin, with variations depending on hair cycle, body location, and mouse strain.
research The Peripheral Clock Regulates Human Pigmentation
Certain genes control the color of human hair by affecting pigment production.
research Vitiligo - Part 2 - Classification, Histopathology and Treatment
New vitiligo treatments focus on controlling immune damage and restoring skin color.
research Regulated Proenkephalin Expression in Human Skin and Cultured Skin Cells
Human skin cells produce proenkephalin, which changes with environmental factors and skin diseases.
