This study found that ionizing radiation primarily affects keratinocyte stem cells in the hair follicle, suggesting they play a central role in radiation-induced hair graying, rather than melanocyte stem cells.

This study introduced a novel in vitro assay for tracking melanosome transfer between melanocytes and keratinocytes, facilitating the quantification of melanin transfer and supporting the role of filopodia as a conduit.

This study observed that benign skin tumors were more common than malignant ones, with squamous cell carcinoma being the most frequent type among malignant tumors.

This study found that co-culturing adipose-derived stem cells with hair follicle-derived melanocytes, combined with narrowband UVB, significantly improved pigmentary response in treating stable, resistant vitiligo compared to non-UVB treatments.

This study found that BMP signaling is involved in regulating melanogenesis, pigment transfer, and melanocyte migration, contributing to our understanding of skin pigmentation mechanisms.

This review discusses the role of intrinsic skin signals, rather than serum signals, in regulating melanin synthesis and hair pigmentation, but reports no new experimental data.

Hair color production is closely linked to the active growth phase of hair in mice and may also influence hair growth itself.

This study demonstrated that a c-Kit-CreER-driven mouse model confirms melanocyte stem cells as a genuine source of melanoma, paralleling human melanoma in heterogeneity and gene signatures.

This study reports that melanocytes form a defined photoresponsive network in the skin that reads environmental light cycles and may influence the sleep-waking cycle similar to the pineal gland.

This article discusses melanocyte development from neural crest cells and reports no new experimental results; the authors suggest a broader range of functions for melanocytes than previously recognized.

This paper provides a comprehensive review of melanocytes' roles in skin biology, focusing on their pigmentation and immune functions, and suggests potential research opportunities for preventing and treating skin disorders.

In this murine study, researchers found that topical treatment with Philippine stingless bee propolis increased folliculogenesis, epidermal thickness, and melanogenesis, but not hair length, potentially supporting hair follicle regeneration and melanocyte function in chemotherapy-induced alopecia models.

This review discusses the role of melanocyte stem cells in skin pigmentation and potential regenerative therapies, but reports no new clinical results.

This research examined the transcriptional landscape of quiescent melanocyte stem cells (qMcSCs) in adult female mice, revealing significant heterogeneity within this cell population and identifying novel subpopulations that vary in immune privilege regulation, melanocyte differentiation potential, and neural crest potential.

This review discusses the interactions between melanocyte stem cells and their niche in hair regeneration and repair, but reports no new results; recent studies on molecular pathways are highlighted.

In this study, the researchers optimized a method for culturing melanocyte precursors from hair follicles and found that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 significantly promotes their differentiation and melanin synthesis.

In this study, collagen I decellularized scaffolds enhanced the growth and melanotic properties of hair follicle melanocytes, suggesting their potential as effective carriers for transplantation in vitiligo treatment.

This review discusses the processes of melanocyte stem cell quiescence and activation, focusing on their interaction with hair follicle stem cells, and highlights current research on hair graying mechanisms; it reports no new results.

This study found that overexpression of β-catenin in bipotent Schwann-cell precursors promotes melanocyte development in limb areas by inducing MITF and repressing FoxD3, especially during a specific developmental timeframe.

This study found that Wnt signaling in the hair follicle is crucial for coordinating the behavior of epithelial and melanocyte stem cells, which drives hair regeneration and melanocyte differentiation in mice.

This study found that cathepsin L deficiency in mice led to significant abnormalities in hair follicle development and cycling, including disrupted hair shaft outgrowth and premature hair growth phase entry.

This article describes protocols for isolating and expanding human epidermal neural crest stem cells and discusses their potential for cell-based therapies in regenerative medicine, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that Wnt10b promotes melanocyte maturation and pigmentation in the hair bulbs of mice by activating canonical Wnt signaling.

This study found that ATM protein plays a crucial role in protecting human hair follicle melanocytes from oxidative stress, which is linked to the greying of hair.

This study found that transgenic mice overexpressing HGF/SF are more susceptible to UVA-induced melanoma, with melanin in the papillary dermis interacting with UVA to induce melanoma.

This study found that epidermal melanocytes can regenerate hair follicles, whereas non-cutaneous or dermal melanocytes cannot, suggesting two distinct melanocyte lineages with potential implications for melanocyte-related diseases.

This study reports that the side population technique can isolate melanocyte stem cells from human hair follicles, potentially allowing them to be used for skin pigmentation repopulation.

This study found that non-vitiliginous melanocyte stem cells from vitiligo patients were unaffected by the disease and could effectively differentiate into melanin-producing melanocytes, suggesting their potential for use in cellular therapy for vitiligo repigmentation.

This study discovered that the gene Tfap2b identifies a melanocyte stem cell population in zebrafish, essential for regenerating melanocytes with multi-fate potential into adult pigment cells.

This review discusses melanocyte biology and its genetic and molecular basis, highlighting its relevance in understanding diseases like vitiligo and albinism, and reports no new findings.
