Journal ArticleDOI
Melanin Pigmentation in Mammalian Skin and Its Hormonal Regulation
TL;DR: Melanogenesis is a highly structured system, active since early embryogenesis and capable of superselective functional regulation that may reach down to the cellular level represented by single melanocytes, and its significance extends beyond the mere assignment of a color trait.
Journal ArticleDOI
Corticotropin Releasing Hormone and Proopiomelanocortin Involvement in the Cutaneous Response to Stress
TL;DR: Cutaneous expression of the CRH/POMC system is highly organized, encoding mediators and receptors similar to the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, that in the skin is expressed as a highly localized response which neutralizes noxious stimuli and attendant immune reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuroendocrinology of the skin.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the skin neuroendocrine system acts by preserving and maintaining the skin structural and functional integrity and, by inference, systemic homeostasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Melatonin membrane receptors in peripheral tissues: distribution and functions.
Radomir M. Slominski,Russel J. Reiter,Natalia Schlabritz-Loutsevitch,Rennolds S. Ostrom,Andrzej Slominski +4 more
TL;DR: Melatonin receptor agonists and antagonists have an exciting future since they could define multiple mechanisms by which melatonin modulates the complexity of such a wide variety of physiological and pathological processes.
Book
Sensing the Environment: Regulation of Local and Global Homeostasis by the Skin's Neuroendocrine System
Andrzej Slominski,Michal A. Zmijewski,Cezary Skobowiat,Blazej Zbytek,Radomir M. Slominski,Radomir M. Slominski,Jeffery D. Steketee +6 more
TL;DR: In conclusion, skin cells and skin as an organ coordinate and/or regulate not only peripheral but also global homeostasis.
