This study revealed that during fetal development, MITF and Mart-1 expressing melanocytes progress from the dermis to the epidermis and hair follicles, with MITF possibly marking follicular stem cells.

This study found that the dark pigmentation pattern in Dun Mongolian horses' "Bider marking" is closely associated with higher protein levels and specific localization of MITF and WNT3A, suggesting these are key factors in its formation.

This study found that extracellular ATP released from UVB-irradiated keratinocytes promotes melanin production through the P2X7 receptor, indicating a role for ATP-P2X7 signaling in UV-induced melanogenesis.

This study found that hexane extracts of Nostoc verrucosum significantly inhibited melanin synthesis in melanoma cells and demonstrated antioxidant activity, suggesting potential use in developing cosmetic and functional food products.

This study found that Plerixafor, a CXCR4 antagonist, promotes melanogenesis in melanocytes by increasing MITF and tyrosinase expression and enhancing melanocyte migration, and it effectively restores pigmentation in a mouse depigmentation model without toxicity, highlighting its potential for treating pigmentary disorders.

This study found that rice bran ash extract enhanced melanin biosynthesis-related protein expression in a 3D hair follicle-like tissue model and hair follicle organ culture, suggesting potential for future research in melanogenesis.

In this study, silencing P-cadherin in human scalp hair follicles reduced melanogenesis and associated protein expression, suggesting P-cadherin is crucial for normal hair pigmentation via GSK3β-mediated Wnt signaling.

This study found that rice bran ash extract and orthosilicic acid both increased melanin synthesis and related protein expression in melanocytes, suggesting potential therapeutic use for melanin deficiency.

This study found that a novel hydrogel scaffold, cGEL, significantly increased melanin production and melanotic gene expression in human melanocytes compared to other graft materials, suggesting its potential as a superior carrier for skin grafting.

In this study, plerixafor was found to enhance melanogenesis and promote repigmentation by engaging a β-arrestin–β-catenin–MITF signaling axis in melanocytes, and showed effectiveness in restoring depigmentation in a murine model without causing systemic toxicity.

This study identified a small population of PAX3+/CD34+ cells in human foreskin tissue that may serve as transition cells between melanocyte stem cells and hair follicle stem cells, characterized by specific marker expressions.

In this study, researchers found that exosomes derived from Pinctada martensii mucus can effectively inhibit melanin production in melanoma cells and zebrafish without adverse effects, potentially offering a promising therapeutic strategy for treating pigmentary disorders by modulating the NF-κB signaling pathway.

This study found that ginsenoside Rf from Panax ginseng may serve as an effective anti-pigmentation agent by inhibiting the CREB/MITF pathway, reducing melanogenesis in melanocytes and UV-irradiated human skin.

This study identified 92 novel regulators of melanogenesis, highlighting Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 as a potential target for developing new treatments for hyperpigmentation disorders like melasma.

This study found that puerarin, derived from Pueraria thunbergiana, may stimulate melanogenesis and prevent follicular depigmentation in a hair graying mouse model.

This study found that early pigment cell markers Sox10 and c-KIT, as well as DCT/TRP-2, were detectable in melanogenically-active melanocytes of the anagen bulb in human hair follicles.

This review discusses the role of miRNA/mRNA regulatory networks in skin development, epidermal homeostasis, and tissue remodeling, and suggests potential for miRNA-based therapies in treating skin conditions, but reports no new clinical results.
