research The Role of Immature and Mature Adipocytes in Hair Cycling
Both immature and mature fat cells are important for hair growth cycles, with immature cells promoting growth and mature cells possibly inhibiting it.
research Deficiency in Nucleotide Excision Repair Family Gene Activity, Especially ERCC3, Is Associated with Non-Pigmented Hair Fiber Growth
Low ERCC3 gene activity is linked to non-pigmented hair growth.
research Induction of the Hair Growth Phase in Postnatal Mice by Localized Transient Expression of Sonic Hedgehog
Activating the Sonic hedgehog gene in mice can start the hair growth phase.
research Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy as a Tool for the Investigation of Skin Drug Delivery Systems and Diagnosis of Skin Disorders
Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) is a useful tool for studying how drugs interact with skin and diagnosing skin disorders, despite some limitations.
research The Biology of Hair Growth
Hair growth is influenced by hormones and goes through different phases; androgens can both promote and inhibit hair growth depending on the body area.
research Genome-Wide Association Meta-Analysis of Individuals of European Ancestry Identifies New Loci Explaining a Substantial Fraction of Hair Color Variation and Heritability
New genetic locations explain much of hair color variation in Europeans.
research The Silver Locus Product (Silv/gp100/Pmel17) as a New Tool for the Analysis of Melanosome Transfer in Human Melanocyte–Keratinocyte Co-Culture
The new assay can track and measure melanosome transfer between skin cells, confirming filopodia's role in this process.
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 Dynein Is Involved in the Movement, Distribution, Acidity, and Transfer of Melanosomes
Dynlt3 is important for melanosome transport and skin coloration.
research Skin Melanocytes: Biology and Development
The paper concludes that understanding melanocyte development can help in insights into skin diseases and melanoma diversity.
research Pharmacological BACE1 and BACE2 Inhibition Induces Hair Depigmentation by Inhibiting PMEL17 Processing in Mice
Blocking BACE1 and BACE2 enzymes causes hair color loss in mice.
research Variation in Human Hair Ultrastructure Among Three Biogeographic Populations
Different populations have distinct hair structures related to their ancestry.
research A Pair of Transmembrane Receptors Essential for the Retention and Pigmentation of Hair
Bmpr2 and Acvr2a receptors are crucial for hair retention and color.
research Extracellular Vesicles in Facial Aesthetics: A Review
Tiny particles called extracellular vesicles show promise for skin improvement and anti-aging in facial care but face challenges like low production and lack of research.
research Melanocytes and Vitiligo and Hair Graying
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
research Melanocyte Pigmentation – Friend or Foe on the Route to Melanoma
Darker skin provides more protection against UV damage and cancer.
research Cosmetic Considerations in Dark-Skinned Patients
Dermatologists should customize cosmetic treatments for dark-skinned patients to minimize risks and complications.
research Does Nicastrin Deficiency Cause Melanocytotoxicity in Human Skin as in the Fish Counterpart?
Nicastrin deficiency may cause skin cell damage and pigmentation disorders in humans, similar to effects seen in fish.
research Location and Fine Structure of Melanocytes in Human Fetal Scalp Hair Follicles
Melanocytes in the outer root sheath are likely stem cells that grow fast but stay immature.
research Trichology to Predict Efficacy of Scalp Cooling: New Pathologic Insights Besides Encouraging Clinical Results
Scalp cooling can effectively prevent hair loss during chemotherapy, improving patients' quality of life.
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 Varicella-Zoster Virus in Actively Spreading Segmental Vitiligo Skin
The study suggests a link between varicella-zoster virus and segmental vitiligo, with evidence of the virus disrupting skin pigment cells.
research The Distribution of Melanocytes and the Degradation of Melanosomes in Fetal Hair Follicles
Fetal hair follicles have melanocytes with melanosomes at different stages, which are broken down into pigment particles in keratinocytes.
research When The Circadian Clock Meets The Melanin Pigmentary System
Silencing certain circadian clock genes increases skin pigmentation.
research Five Diverse Skin Type Considerations and Applications for Nonsurgical Combinations
Tailored nonsurgical cosmetic procedures are crucial for safely treating diverse skin types, especially skin of color.
research Betamethasone Activates Cultured Amelanotic Melanocytes Derived From Outer Root Sheath of Human Hair Follicle
Betamethasone activates and increases the growth of certain skin cells from hair follicles.
research Observation of Cultured Amelanotic Melanocytes from Hair Follicles by Atomic Force Microscopy
Amelanotic melanocytes from hair follicles are immature and likely don't transfer melanosomes to keratinocytes.
research Hair Pigmentation: A Research Update
Hair color is determined by different melanins and changes with age.
research Multifunctional Merkel Cells: Their Roles in Electromagnetic Reception, Fingerprint Formation, Reiki, Epigenetic Inheritance, and Hair Form
Merkel cells may have roles in sensing magnetic fields, creating fingerprints, Reiki energy healing, passing on environmental information to offspring, and influencing hair shape.
