Premature graying as a consequence of compromised antioxidant activity in hair bulb melanocytes and their precursors.

Intricate coordinated mechanisms that govern the synchrony of hair growth and melanin synthesis remain largely unclear. These two events can be uncoupled in prematurely gray hair, probably due to oxidative insults that lead to the death of oxidative stress-sensitive melanocytes. In this study, we ex...
