Investigations into the roles of potassium channels in hair growth. Studies confirming the presence of several ATP-sensitive potassium (K+ATP) channels in hair follicles and exploring their mechanism of action using molecular biological, cell culture, organ culture and proteomic approaches.
Hair disorders cause significant distress. The main, but limited, treatment for hair loss is minoxidil, an ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel opener whose mechanism of stimulation is unclear. The regulatory component of KATP channels has three forms: SUR1, SUR2A and SUR2B which all respond to …

Does alopecia have diagnostic weight in systemic lupus erythematosus?
… clinical manifestations. Non-scarring alopecia (hair loss) is reported to occur in up to 80% of individuals with SLE, occurring primarily in the active phase. Alopecia is also reported in up to a third of the general population, begging the question of how much diagnostic weight alopecia really …

THE IMPACT OF A WEIGHT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM ON BODY COMPOSITION AND SELF-PRESENTATION CONCERNS IN WOMEN WITH BREAST CANCER
… women may have to manage fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, and distortion or loss of the breast itself. These side effects can have a negative impact on a woman’s body image causing high levels of social physique anxiety. Previous literature has supported that physical activity positively impacts …

Understanding gender and health: systematically comparing the health and health experiences of men and women
… of some cancer treatments, chemotherapy-induced hair loss, has almost exclusively focussed on women. The final paper compares young adults’ experiences of hair loss following chemotherapy. Hair loss was a challenging aspect of the experience of cancer for both women and men which made them …

The role of stress in the pathogenesis of Alopecia Areata: an objective assessment via hair cortisol level
… evidence that stress causes or exacerbates AA. Hair cortisol measurement has been proven to be a reliable biological marker for cumulative prior stress. This measurement has up to date not been used in AA cases and may provide convincing evidence in the debate of stress and AA. OBJECTIVES: The …

Factors affecting treatment decision making for women with breast cancer
… These were side effects in general, vomiting, hair loss, family role, and the number of trips to the cancer centre required for treatment.Implications and recommendations for patient education, research, and practice evolved from the findings of this study.

WNT SIGNALING AND HAIR FOLLICLE INITIATION
… of the skin, and provides inductive cues for hair follicle initiation. Uniform Wnt signaling activity is present in dermal fibroblast precursors preceding hair follicle initiation, but the functional requirement of dermal Wnt signaling at early stages of skin differentiation and patterning …

Investigating the defects of postnatal global Fli1 deletion in a mouse model
… 8 weeks. Fli1flox/flox CAG Cre mice exhibited hair loss after 5 months of Fli1 deletion. Since our experiments focus mainly on the lungs and skin, more experiments are required to characterize these mice to determine if they can be used as a novel animal model of SSc.

Lessons from a rare disease
… skin, stunted growth, visible veins, fat loss, hair loss, bone loss, joint contractures, and heart disease. Their average life expectancy is thirteen. There is currently no treatment or cure. The disease arises from a single nucleotide mutation in the LMNA gene, which makes proteins called …

The role of Ten Eleven Translocation enzymes in the hair follicle mesenchyme
… important role during the morphogenesis of the hair follicle and the hair cycle. Work on hair regeneration is of importance as no products are available which can provide complete reversal of hair loss. Tet2 promotes DNA demethylation by the hydroxylation of 5mC to 5hmC which in turn causes gene …

The bald truth: Determining the need for a Canadian alopecia association
… the psychological devastation resulting from hair loss in children and adults of both sexes. Alopecia areata is present in approximately 1-2% of the Canadian population (Canadian Dermatology Association, 2002) yet this disorder remains relatively unknown and misunderstood by the medical …

Exploring cattle tick infestations, farmers knowledge, attitudes, and control practices in selected villages of Collins Chabane Local Municipality, Limpopo Province
… cattle more severely affected. Tick lesions, hair loss and skin thickening were prevalent, and most cattle displayed low to moderate body condition scores, suggesting negative implications for productivity. Despite limited formal livestock training, most farmers demonstrated practical …

The role of miRNA-486-5p in hair growth and the hair follicle immune privilege
… their role in regulation of apoptosis and hair loss in alopecia areata (AA) is largely unknown, which became the aim of this study. In AA mouse model (C3H/HeJ), global miRNA profiling revealed 22 miRNAs with significant changes in their expression in AA affected skin. Amongst these miRNAs, …

The Genetic Architecture of Alopecia Areata
… In AA, autoimmunity arises against the hair follicles in the skin, which causes hair loss associated with an aberrant accumulation of immune-response cells around the affected hair follicles. Evidence supporting a genetic basis for AA stems from multiple lines of research, including …

Role of Krox20 Transcription Factor and Krox20+ Stem Cells in Epithelial Tissue Development and Homeostasis
… the of the interfollicular epidermis (IFE) and hair follicle (HF). During homeostasis, the bulge SCs generate the lower portion of the HF, while isthmus, junctional zone, and infundibular SCs give rise to the upper HF and IFE. Beyond their unique cell fate, these cells are also capable of …

Evaluating the impact of ultraviolet light on chemical and mechanical properties of human scalp hair through controlled and natural experiments
Introduction: Human hair fibres have been studied in a variety of fields for different applications. Examples include the use of hair as a medical testing substrate for diagnosis of pathologies, as a tool for forensic investigations, a substrate for cosmetic product development and as a precursor …

Development of a novel, clinically-relevant model for investigating factors that stimulate human hair growth
Lack of hair due to alopecia or skin grafting procedures causes significant distress due to hair's role in social and sexual communication. Only limited pharmacological agents are currently available to stimulate hair growth; their development is hampered by inappropriate model systems. Most …
