Article Synopsis
- Melanocyte stem cells (McSCs) and mouse models of hair graying are utilized to study stem cell self-renewal and tissue maintenance.
- Researchers found that a specific genetic variant (heterozygosity for the Mitf gene) increases McSC differentiation and contributes to hair graying in susceptible mice.
- The study reveals a new role for the MITF protein in regulating immune gene expression, and highlights how immune system dysregulation may affect pigmentation, which could relate to conditions like vitiligo.
