Modulation of social behavior by the agouti pigmentation gene [PDF]

, 2014
Agouti is a secreted neuropeptide that acts as an endogenous antagonist of melanocortin receptors. Mice and rats lacking agouti (called non-agouti) have dark fur due to a disinhibition of melanocortin signaling and pigment deposition in the hair follicle.

Cytogenetics of Melanocytic Tumors

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1993
Chromosome studies of human melanocytic tumors have demonstrated non-random karyotypic abnormalities of chromosomes 1, 6, 7, 9, and 10. These visible genetic alterations may provide clues to the location of oncogenes and suppressor genes involved in the development of lesions from benign nervus to metastatic melanoma, and to the mechanisms by which the

Engineered Tissue Models to Decode Host–Microbiota Interactions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Host–Microbiota interactions in the human body. Created in BioRender. Ghezzi, C. (2025) https://BioRender.com/ihivskg. Abstract A mutualistic co‐evolution exists between the host and its associated microbiota in the human body. Bacteria establish ecological niches in various tissues of the body, locally influencing their physiology and functions, but ...

Host phenotype characteristics and MC1R in relation to early-onset basal cell carcinoma. [PDF]

, 2012
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) incidence is increasing, particularly among adults under the age of 40 years. Pigment-related characteristics are associated with BCC in older populations, but epidemiologic studies among younger individuals and analyses of ...

Visualizing Turner Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Turner syndrome (TS) continues to present a diagnostic challenge to healthcare professionals. The diagnostic challenges associated with TS result in delayed treatment and clinical care. Here we provide an update of the physical appearance of girls and women with TS by presenting clinical photographs and detailed clinical descriptions of 25 ...

Ocular manifestations of vitiligo: a systematic review

BMC Ophthalmology, 2023
Vitiligo is a disorder characterized by loss of epidermal melanocytes, resulting in depigmented macules and patches. While the relationship between ocular pathology and vitiligo has been demonstrated in conditions such as Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada and ...

A modelling approach towards Epidermal homoeostasis control

, 2007
In order to grasp the features arising from cellular discreteness and individuality, in large parts of cell tissue modelling agent-based models are favoured.

Diglycerides of Natural Phenols and Organic Acids for Enhanced Biological Activities

Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
Diglycerides of natural organic acids and phenols were synthesized regio‐selectively. Diglycerides are structurally similar to cell membranes and are expected to exhibit cell affinity and permeability. The flexible glycerol linkers allow the diglycerides to exhibit not only the physiological activities of each constituent organic acid but also the ...

Generation of human melanocytes from induced pluripotent stem cells.

PLoS ONE, 2011
Epidermal melanocytes play an important role in protecting the skin from UV rays, and their functional impairment results in pigment disorders. Additionally, melanomas are considered to arise from mutations that accumulate in melanocyte stem cells.

Avian Pigment Pattern Formation: Developmental Control of Macro- (Across the Body) and Micro- (Within a Feather) Level of Pigment Patterns

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Animal color patterns are of interest to many fields, such as developmental biology, evolutionary biology, ethology, mathematical biology, bio-mimetics, etc. The skin provides easy access to experimentation and analysis enabling the developmental pigment
