Treatments for melanin disorders exist, but more effective options needed.

In this study, adrenalectomy in rats on a diet lacking certain vitamin B components reversed fur graying and enhanced hair growth.

In this study, adrenalectomy in black rats on a vitamin B-deficient diet restored hair growth and melanin deposition, effects reversed using adrenal cortical hormones.

This study found that phenyl-imidazole sulfonamide derivatives, particularly ISCK03, inhibited c-kit signaling and promoted depigmentation in various experimental settings, suggesting potential use as skin-whitening agents.

This study found that using an electrical microneedling device enhanced the penetration of liposomal melanin-fluorescein into hair structures and widened the follicular infundibulum in ex vivo human skin models.

In this study, silencing BMAL1 and PER1 genes increased melanogenic activity in follicular and epidermal melanocytes, suggesting that peripheral circadian clocks may regulate melanin pigmentation.

This study found that α-spinasterol treatment significantly reduced testosterone propionate-induced prostatic hyperplasia in rats, suggesting potential benefits for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This study found that female Holdobaggy goslings have higher melanin content in their dorsal plumage than males, suggesting that initial plumage color can be used for sex identification.

In this study, researchers observed that in barn owls, the relationship between black feather spot size and testosterone levels varied by age and sex, suggesting involvement of genes regulating both traits rather than direct influence of testosterone on feather coloration.

This study found that carvone, a plant-derived compound, decreases melanin content and inhibits melanoma cell proliferation through the cAMP pathway, suggesting potential benefits for treating melanomas and other hyperpigmentation disorders.

This study found that splenic melanosis in C57BL/6 mice is associated with synchronized skin melanization during hair cycles, but decreases with age.

This study found that both Japanese male and female hair darkens with age, with significant sex differences in melanin composition and melanosome morphology influencing hair color.

This study found that melanin extracted from cuttlefish ink provided significant protection against UV radiation damage to human hair, suggesting its potential as a photoprotective agent in hair-care products.

The authors observed that the patterned melanoderma on the hairless scalp of fair-skinned Caucasian men with androgenic alopecia resembled similar patterns seen on facial skin.

In this study, Epimedii Folium extract was found to enhance melanin production and promote pigmentation through mechanisms involving the MAPK/ERK1/2 pathway in both in vitro and in vivo models.

This review discusses how hair follicle light sensitivity is linked to mesenchymal remodeling and suggests that this connection influences photoepilation outcomes and optimal treatment strategies, reporting no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers used Raman spectroscopy to identify melanin-specific features in mouse hair as potential biomarkers for gamma-radiation exposure, achieving a sensitivity of 88% and specificity of 83%, with classification accuracy declining over time beyond 7 days post-irradiation.

In this study, researchers identified key genes such as EDNRB2, GPNMB, TRPM1, TYR, and DCT that regulate melanin deposition in the breast muscles of black-boned chickens, contributing to their unique pigmentation during embryonic development.

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.

In this study, Desmodesmus pannonicus water extract demonstrated significant antioxidative properties, inhibited melanin production, promoted wound healing in human keratinocyte cells, and showed potential for hair growth enhancement in human follicle dermal papilla cells, suggesting its promise for future dermatological applications.

This study reported that rice bran oil from the Thai rice variety BB4CMU showed potential in promoting melanin production and inhibiting steroid 5α-reductase, suggesting a natural option for hair revitalization.

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.

This study developed a mouse model to mimic PHGDH gene copy number gain, finding that increased PHGDH expression leads to abnormal melanin production, which may offer insights into its role in melanoma.

This study found that lasers and light devices may alleviate recalcitrant skin side effects in cancer patients treated with EGFR inhibitors, offering an alternative for those who do not respond to traditional therapies.

This study reports the development of a natural hair-coloring system using size-controlled ink particles from cuttlefish ink combined with chitosan, achieving darker and more uniform black coloration on hair than existing plant-based natural colorants, without the need for metallic mordants.

This study reported that discarded squid ink was used to develop a high-performance, environmentally friendly hair dye that offers a stable deep black color, UV protection, and preserves hair structure, while showing excellent biosafety in lab tests.

This study found that administering mesenchymal stem cells to UV-exposed mice reduced melanin levels, although the decrease was not statistically significant.

In this study, researchers developed non-invasive methods to monitor hair shaft, melanin, and collagen dynamics in C57BL/6 mice across different hair follicle cycle phases, supporting non-invasive research in hair loss treatment development.

This review examined and discussed the role of dermis-derived factors in the regulation of melanogenesis, noting their significance in both normal and abnormal mammalian skin conditions, suggesting an underexplored area of study compared to dermal and epidermal influences.

This abstract describes the role of melanin in determining hair color and protecting against UV radiation, highlighting how its production affects hair health, growth, and vitality, with reduced production contributing to greying with age.
