Perspective approaches on melanogenesis inhibition
Dermatologica Sinica, 2021 Melanogenesis is a melanin-forming process responsible for protecting the skin against ultraviolet radiation damage. An excess production of melanin, however, may result in hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin) to adverse dermatological effects ...

Modulating skin colour: role of the thioredoxin and glutathione systems in regulating melanogenesis
, 2021 Different skin colour among individuals is determined by the varying amount and types of melanin pigment. Melanin is produced in melanocytes, a type of dendritic cell located in the basal layer of the epidermis, through the process of melanogenesis ...

Paracrine regulation of melanogenesis [PDF]
British Journal of Dermatology, 2018 Melanocytes are generally characterized by the basic ability of melanin synthesis and transfer to adjacent keratinocytes. This constitutes an individual skin phenotype and provides epidermal protection from various stimuli, such as ultraviolet irradiation, through a complex process called melanogenesis, which can be regulated by autocrine or paracrine ...

Using Melanogenesis to Study Antioxidants
, 2018 Building upon our research on the non-enzymatic synthesis of melanins, we explored the possibility that the reactions involved in the synthesis of melanins could serve as the basis for the study of and search for compounds with anti-oxidant properties ...

A potent inhibitor of SIK2, 3, 3', 7-trihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavon (4'-O-methylfisetin), promotes melanogenesis in B16F10 melanoma cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Flavonoids, which are plant polyphenols, are now widely used in supplements and cosmetics. Here, we report that 4'-methylflavonoids are potent inducers of melanogenesis in B16F10 melanoma cells and in mice. We recently identified salt inducible kinase 2 (

VDAC1 negatively regulates melanogenesis through the Ca 2+ -calcineurin-CRTC1-MITF pathway
Life Science Alliance, 2022 This study revealed an important and novel role of mitochondrial VDAC1 in regulating melanogenesis in resting melanocytes through a Ca 2+ -regulated pathway that is independent of the alpha-MSH/UVB pathway.
