We recently found that treatment of normal human melanocytes (NHMs) with the antioxidant
astaxanthin (AX) suppresses the stem cell factor (SCF)-stimulated protein expression levels …

We established a model for the stem cell factor (SCF)-associated stimulation of human
epidermal equivalent (HEE) pigmentation. The addition of SCF (at 5 nM) gradually …

We characterized the mechanism (s) underlying the abrogating effect of withaferin A (WFA)
on the stem cell factor (SCF)-stimulated pigmentation of human epidermal equivalents …

During development, the interaction of stem cell factor (SCF) with its receptor, KIT, is critical
for the survival of melanocytes. Limited in vivo human studies have suggested a possible …

A single exposure of normal human melanocytes (NHM s) to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation
induces a distinct increase in the expression of c‐KIT and endothelin B receptor (EDNRB) …

We have already reported that glucosamine (GlcN) distinctly abrogates the pigmentation of
human epidermal equivalents stimulated by stem cell factor+ endothelin-1 (SE). In this study …

The interaction of stem cell factor with its receptor, c-kit, is well known to be critical to the
survival of melanocytes. Little is known about the role (s) of the stem cell factor/c-kit …

The signaling of stem cell factor (SCF) and its receptor KIT (membrane-bound KIT; m-KIT)
plays an important role in melanocyte development, survival, proliferation, and …

Stem cell factor (SCF) activates a variety of signals associated with stimulation of
proliferation, differentiation, migration, and survival in melanocytes. However, the molecular …

Stem cell factor (SCF) and its receptor, KIT, are essential to the migration and differentiation
of melanocytes during embryogenesis. We previously demonstrated that apoptosis is …
