Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell01:06

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell

3.6K
A hair follicle or HF is a small part of the skin that produces the hair shaft. Paul Gerson Unna was the first to observe a bulge in the human hair follicle's outer root sheath (ORS). The bulge is present between the sebaceous gland and the arrector pili muscle and is the niche for hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). The bulge is also a niche for melanocyte stem cells, and their loss results in graying of hair. The HFSCs express Sox9 and Lhx2, which help them maintain stemness and prevent...

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

35
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition that arises following exposure to traumatic events such as natural disasters, forced displacement, or severe accidents. It significantly impairs individuals' ability to cope with daily activities and disrupts their emotional and psychological equilibrium.
Symptoms and Behavioral Manifestations
A spectrum of distressing symptoms characterizes PTSD. Recurrent flashbacks, where individuals involuntarily relive traumatic events,...

Depression: Overview

252
Depression is a prevalent mental illness marked by persistent sadness and lack of interest in previously enjoyable activities. It can take several forms, including major depression, persistent depressive disorder, and bipolar I and II disorders. Symptoms range from emotional changes like chronic worry to physical changes like sleep disturbances and suicidal thoughts. From a neurobiological perspective, depression is believed to be triggered by abnormalities in the brain's prefrontal cortex,...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Trichology
  • Hair Biology

Background:

  • Telogen effluvium (TE) is a frequent cause of diffuse hair loss.
  • Stress is a primary factor in TE onset and persistence.
  • The multifactorial nature of TE complicates diagnosis and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically review the scientific literature on Telogen Effluvium.
  • To elucidate the pathogenesis, focusing on the role of stress, including COVID-19-associated TE.
  • To describe clinical findings, differential diagnoses, and current/future treatments for TE.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature search and critical assessment of existing studies on TE.
  • Analysis of research pertaining to TE pathogenesis, etiology, and clinical presentation.
  • Review of diagnostic criteria, differential diagnoses, and therapeutic strategies for TE.

Main Results:

  • TE is a complex, multifactorial condition often linked to stress.
  • Understanding the role of stress, including viral triggers like COVID-19, is crucial.
  • Current treatments are varied, with ongoing research for improved therapies.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment are essential for managing TE.
  • Further research into TE pathogenesis and novel therapeutic targets is warranted.
  • Addressing the impact of stress is key in the comprehensive management of Telogen Effluvium.
