Tailored nonsurgical cosmetic procedures are crucial for safely treating diverse skin types, especially skin of color.
research Tyrosinase Depletion Prevents the Maturation of Melanosomes in the Mouse Hair Follicle
Reducing Tyrosinase prevents mature color pigment cells from forming in mouse hair.
research Melanocytes in Regenerative Medicine Applications and Disease Modeling
Melanocytes are important for normal body functions and have potential uses in regenerative medicine and disease treatment.
research HGF/SF Increases Number of Skin Melanocytes but Does Not Alter Quality or Quantity of Follicular Melanogenesis
HGF/SF increases skin melanocytes but doesn't change melanin type or amount.
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.
research Cutaneous Complications of Chemotherapeutic Agents
Chemotherapy can cause skin problems like hair loss, mouth sores, and skin darkening, and recognizing these can affect treatment decisions.
research Theoretical Considerations in Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal effectiveness depends on targeting hair structures without harming the skin, and improvements require more research and expert collaboration.
research Differences in Perceptions of Beauty and Cosmetic Procedures in Ethnic Patients
The cosmetic industry should adapt to the varied beauty standards of ethnic groups and offer specialized treatments.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research Low-Fluence Q-Switched Nd:YAG 1064-nm Laser and Intense Pulsed Light for the Treatment of Melasma
Combining LFQS and IPL is more effective and faster for treating melasma than LFQS alone.
research Culturing of Melanocytes from the Equine Hair Follicle Outer Root Sheath
Researchers successfully grew horse skin cells that produce pigment from hair follicle samples.
research Irradiation-Induced Hair Graying in Mice: An Experimental Model to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Interventions Targeting Oxidative Stress, DNA Damage Prevention, and Cellular Senescence
Using radiation to make mice's hair turn gray helps study and find ways to prevent or reverse hair graying.
research Dynein Is Involved in the Movement, Distribution, Acidity, and Transfer of Melanosomes
Dynlt3 is important for melanosome transport and skin coloration.
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 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 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 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 Melanocytes and Vitiligo and Hair Graying
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
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
