Epimedium extract helps increase skin pigmentation and could be a new treatment for conditions with reduced pigmentation.
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 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 Distribution of Glycolipid and Unsaturated Fatty Acids in Human Hair
Human hair has more unsaturated fats inside than on the surface, and certain lipids may help bind the outer and inner layers together.
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 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 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 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 Melanocytes: The New Black
Melanocytes are crucial for skin pigmentation and can affect conditions like melanoma, vitiligo, and albinism, as well as hair color and hearing.
research When The Circadian Clock Meets The Melanin Pigmentary System
Silencing certain circadian clock genes increases skin pigmentation.
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 Quantification of Normal Human Hair Pigmentation by Electron Microscopy
Daily hair care may cause holes in hair fibers.
research Immunopathology of the Human Hair Follicle

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 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 Mucocutaneous Reactions to Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy can cause various skin reactions, with hair loss being the most common, and proper diagnosis and treatment of these reactions are important.
