Melanocyte-associated antigens may play a key role in alopecia areata and could be targets for new treatments.

Patients with melanoma who saw dermatologists and were from higher-income areas were more likely to have follow-up visits, which was linked to lower mortality.

The research found ways to activate melanocyte stem cells for potential treatment of skin depigmentation conditions.

Transplanting melanocyte stem cells from hair follicles can effectively treat vitiligo.

Darker skin provides more protection against UV damage and cancer.

BMP4 helps stem cells turn into pigment-producing cells, affecting hair color and growth.

Dermal factors are crucial in regulating melanin production in skin.

Tribuloside can increase skin pigmentation by enhancing melanin production and distribution.

The human scalp has different types of pigment cells in hair follicles with varying abilities to produce pigment.

Lenalidomide helps hair follicle stem cells turn into melanocytes, which may improve repigmentation in vitiligo.

A specific group of early-stage melanocytes is reduced in vitiligo-affected skin, which may explain treatment resistance.

Blocking casein kinase 1 in skin cells can help melanocyte precursors move better, potentially helping with conditions like vitiligo or gray hair.

The protein p21 is more abundant in normal skin cells than in melanoma cells and may help protect against melanoma, with UVB light affecting its levels.

Melanocytes are cells that make skin and hair color and help protect skin from sun damage.

Researchers found three types of melanocytes in developing mouse skin, each with different genes and locations.

The gene Tfap2b is essential for creating a type of stem cell in zebrafish that can become different pigment cells.

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

Stress causes hair graying by overactivating nerves that deplete color-giving stem cells.

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

Hair follicle stem cells prevent melanocyte stem cells from differentiating by controlling retinoic acid levels.

BMP signaling is important for skin color, affecting melanin production, pigment spread, and cell movement.

Melanocytes in the outer root sheath are likely stem cells that grow fast but stay immature.

Hair graying is caused by the loss of pigment cells due to poor maintenance of stem cells in the hair follicle.

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.

Feather pigment patterns form through melanocyte arrangement and simple regulatory mechanisms.
