Discovery of a molecular switch that turns off the natural process of skin pigmentation may lead to a novel way of protecting the skin – activating the tanning process without exposure to ...
Many people are surprised to notice their skin looking darker, duller, or more uneven as they get older—especially if they’re ...
Melanin is often talked about in terms of skin tone, but its role goes far beyond color. This naturally occurring pigment functions as one of the body’s most important defense systems, especially when ...
The skin is presumably the largest and one of the most versatile body organs. By providing a physical barrier, it protects our body from environmental assaults. Melanin—a natural pigment produced by ...
Melanin is the pigment responsible for the colour of our skin, eyes, and hair. While it provides numerous benefits, including protection against UV radiation, excessive melanin production can lead to ...
In a time where many misguided people are bleaching their skin, we explain why melanin one of the most important things you can possess. Melanin is the pigment that gives skin, hair and eyes their ...
A two-year study conducted by researchers at George Mason University, INOVA Fairfax Hospital and the National Cancer Institute may open the door to new therapies for combating chronic diseases ...
"Our study settles a long-standing debate about how melanin is transported from melanocytes, cells where it is synthesized, to keratinocytes, cells which it protects in the actual body," commented the ...
A small pilot clinical study at the National Eye Institute (NEI) suggests that the drug nitisinone increases melanin production in some people with oculocutaneous albinism type 1B (OCA-1B), a rare ...
When the production of melanin stops in the hair, then the hair starts turning white. There can be many reasons for the absence of melanin in the hair. But you can boost melanin production in hair by ...
Exploring the mysteries of the natural pigment melanin in the unique microgravity environment of the International Space Station (ISS) could lead to groundbreaking advances in biomaterial production ...
