Stem cell factor–KIT signalling plays a pivotal role in regulating pigmentation in mammalian hair

12 Feb 2009

Abstract excerpt

Hair greying is one of the most distinct but least comprehended features of senescence. The signalling of stem cell factor (SCF) and its receptor KIT has been documented to regulate essential roles in the maintenance of embryonic melanocyte lineages and postnatal cutaneous melanogenesis, although little is known about its detailed mechanisms in postnatal hair pigmentation. To address this, anagen human hair...
