30 / 1000+ results research The Psychology of Gray Hair
Stress can cause hair to turn gray by depleting pigment-producing cells through the release of a stress hormone.
research The Biology of Melanocytes
Melanocytes are cells that make skin and hair color and help protect skin from sun damage.
research Heterogeneity of Neural Crest-Derived Melanocytes
Melanocytes are diverse cells important for pigmentation and skin health, influenced by genetics and environment.
research mTORC1 Activity Controls Human Scalp Hair Follicle Pigmentation and Growth
mTORC1 activity is important for hair growth and color, and targeting it could help treat hair loss and greying.
research Using Microneedling in the Treatment of Vitiligo
Microneedling is an effective and tolerable way to treat vitiligo.
research Biology of Melanocytes in Mammals
Melanocytes are important for skin and hair color and protect the skin from UV damage.

The paper concludes that understanding melanocyte development can help in insights into skin diseases and melanoma diversity.
research Loss of Epidermal Melanin Unit Integrity in Human Skin During Melanoma Genesis
Melanoma development can be linked to the breakdown of skin's melanin-producing units.
research Tfap2b Specifies an Embryonic Melanocyte Stem Cell That Retains Adult Multi-Fate Potential
The gene Tfap2b is essential for creating a type of stem cell in zebrafish that can become different pigment cells.
research Stem Cells and the Skin
Stem cells can rejuvenate skin, restore hair, and aid in wound healing.
research P21Waf1/Cip1 Is Differentially Expressed in Epidermal Versus Follicular Melanocytes and Melanoma Cells and Is Phenotypically Regulated by UVB-Mediated Apoptosis
The protein p21 is more abundant in normal skin cells than in melanoma cells and may help protect against melanoma, with UVB light affecting its levels.
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: 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 Regulation of Melanocyte Stem Cell Behavior by the Niche Microenvironment
The environment around melanocyte stem cells is key for hair regeneration and color, with certain injuries affecting hair color and potential treatments for pigmentation disorders.
research Comparison Treatment of Vitiligo by Co-Culture of Melanocytes Derived from Hair Follicle with Adipose-Derived Stem Cells with and without Narrowband UVB
Treating vitiligo with stem cells and melanocytes from hair, along with UVB light, works better than without the light.
