The Ellison Medical Foundation will award $150,000 over 2 years for a project designed to identify a drug whose development has been stalled or abandoned, to rescue its pharmaceutical potential, and to proceed with its development toward clinical use. Specific needs for the drug in an underdeveloped country will be assessed and bringing it to...

Melanocyte stem cells supply mature melanocytes that are responsible for hair pigmentation by producing pigment. These melanocyte stem cells are maintained in an immature state in a specialized area within the hair follicle known as the bulge. As melanocyte stem cells mature, they migrate to another region within the hair follicle called the bulb...
