miR-380-3p regulates melanogenesis by targeting SOX6 in melanocytes from alpacas (Vicugna pacos)
BMC Genomics, 2019 Background Melanocytes are derived from neural crest stem cells in the embryonic stage. In mature melanocytes, a series of complex enzyme-catalyzed reactions leads to the production of melanins, which determine the hair and skin colors of animals.

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Semi‐permanent make‐up (SPMU), or micropigmentation, involves implanting pigments into the dermal layer of the skin for cosmetic enhancement. Unlike topical cosmetics, which are rapidly cleared from the body, SPMU pigments persist in living tissues, raising unique toxicological considerations.

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Setmelanotide is a melanocortin‐4 receptor agonist approved for the treatment of rare forms of genetic obesity. Through off‐target activation of the melanocortin‐1 receptor, it may induce cutaneous pigmentation changes; however, data regarding its effects on melanocytic nevi remain limited.

Molecules, 2020 Previous studies have reported that estrogen hormone promotes melanogenesis while progesterone inhibits it. A selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), tamoxifen, has been shown to promote melanogenesis; however, to date, there have been no reports ...

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a genetic disorder found worldwide, but its impact is particularly pronounced in the African continent. This results from both a higher prevalence and the persistent myths and superstitions surrounding the condition in many African communities.

Melanogenesis inhibition by tetrahydropterines
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Proteins and Proteomics, 2009 There is controversy in the literature concerning the action of tetrahydropterines on the enzyme tyrosinase and on melanogenesis in general. In this study, we demonstrate that tetrahydropterines can inhibit melanogenesis in several ways: i) by non-enzymatic inhibition involving purely chemical reactions reducing o-dopaquinone to L-dopa, ii) by acting ...
