Pigmentation, Melanocyte Colonization, and p53 Status in Basal Cell Carcinoma
Journal of Skin Cancer, 2011 Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common neoplasm in the Caucasian population. Only a fraction of BCC exhibits pigmentation. Lack of melanocyte colonization has been suggested to be due to p53-inactivating mutations in the BCC cells interfering with

Combination of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone with conventional antibiotics against methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Our previous studies revealed that alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) is strongly active against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) including methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA).

Recent advances in anterior pituitary hormones and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease
Frontiers in EndocrinologyThe classical theory of the pituitary–target gland axis suggests that the hormones secreted by the pituitary gland only regulate the synthesis and secretion of target gland hormones, while the target gland hormones act on the tissues of the body to ...

Tyrosol and Its Analogues Inhibit Alpha-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone Induced Melanogenesis
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2013 Melanin is responsible for skin color and plays a major role in defending against harmful external factors such as ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Tyrosinase is responsible for the critical steps of melanogenesis, including the rate-limiting step of ...
