research The Peripheral Clock Regulates Human Pigmentation
Certain genes control the color of human hair by affecting pigment production.
research Epimedium Brevicornum Maxim Extract Enhances Melanin Biosynthesis and Melanosome Biogenesis/Transfer
Epimedium extract helps increase skin pigmentation and could be a new treatment for conditions with reduced pigmentation.
research Molecular Mapping of Lymph Node Metastases by Real-Time Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction in Two Melanoma Patients
The conclusion is that a certain test might help find cancer spread in lymph nodes for melanoma patients, but more research is needed due to false positives.
research Expression Patterns of MITF During Human Cutaneous Embryogenesis: Evidence for Bulge Epithelial Expression and Persistence of Dermal Melanoblasts
Melanocyte precursors in human fetal skin follow a specific migration pattern and some remain in the skin's deeper layers.
research Melanogenesis Is Coupled to Murine Anagen: New Concepts for the Role of Melanocytes and Regulation of Melanogenesis in Hair Growth
Hair color production is closely linked to the active growth phase of hair in mice and may also influence hair growth itself.
research Biology of Melanocytes in Mammals
Melanocytes are important for skin and hair color and protect the skin from UV damage.
research Finasteride Inhibits Melanogenesis Through Regulation of the Adenylate Cyclase in Melanocytes and Melanoma Cells
Finasteride reduces melanin production, possibly treating hyperpigmentation and melanoma, but needs more safety research.
research From Neural Crest Cells to Melanocytes: Cellular Plasticity During Development and Beyond
Melanocyte development from neural crest cells is complex and influenced by many factors, and better understanding could help treat skin disorders.
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 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 Lenalidomide Augments Differentiation of Cultured Hair Follicle Derived Melanocyte Stem Cells Into Functional Melanocytes
Lenalidomide helps hair follicle stem cells turn into melanocytes, which may improve repigmentation in vitiligo.
research Do Hair Bulb Melanocytes Undergo Apoptosis During Hair Follicle Regression (Catagen)?
Hair follicle melanocytes die during hair regression.
research Glycine Inhibits Melanogenesis in Vitro and Causes Hypopigmentation in Vivo
Glycine reduces skin pigmentation by lowering melanin production.
research Novel Anti-Melanogenesis Properties of Polydeoxyribonucleotide, a Popular Wound Healing Booster
Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) may help lighten skin and treat hyperpigmentation.
research Efficacy of an Agonist of α-MSH, the Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-20, in Hair Pigmentation
Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-20 may help reduce hair greying and increase melanin production.
research Antroquinonol Exerts Immunosuppressive Effect on CD8+ T Cell Proliferation and Activation to Resist Depigmentation Induced by H2O2
Antroquinonol may help prevent skin depigmentation by suppressing certain immune cells.
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 Premature Graying of Hair: Causes, Associations, and Treatments
Premature graying of hair may suggest health issues and currently lacks effective treatments.
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 CCN2 Modulates Hair Follicle Cycling in Mice
The protein CCN2 controls hair growth by affecting hair follicle formation and stem cell activity in mice.
research Desmoplastic Melanoma Presenting as Primary Alopecia Neoplastica: A Report of Two Cases
Two women were diagnosed with a rare melanoma that looked like hair loss but was actually a type of skin cancer.
research Overexpression of Hepatoma-Derived Growth Factor in Melanocytes Does Not Lead to Oncogenic Transformation
Overexpression of HDGF in melanocytes does not cause cancer.
research Segmental Vitiligo: Characteristics, Treatment, and Prognosis
Segmental Vitiligo is a stable, early-onset form of vitiligo that responds well to early treatment and is ideal for repigmentation studies.
research Critical Role of ATP-P2X7 Axis in UV-Induced Melanogenesis
ATP increases melanin production in skin after UV exposure, with the P2X7 receptor being crucial for this process.
research Mechanisms of Repigmentation Induced by Photobiomodulation Therapy in Vitiligo
Light therapy using helium-neon lasers can help restore skin color in vitiligo by promoting skin cell growth and movement.
research 3,4,5-Tri-O-Caffeoylquinic Acid Promoted Hair Pigmentation Through β-Catenin and Its Target Genes
A substance called TCQA could potentially darken hair by activating certain genes and increasing melanin.
research Woolly Antics Between the Sheaths
