Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell01:06

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell

3.3K
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...

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

3.7K
The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
The mTOR pathway or the...

Psychosis: Pathophysiology of Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders

338
Schizophrenia is a neurodevelopmental disorder whose origins are rooted in complex genetic components. Despite our burgeoning understanding, the pathophysiology of this disorder remains incompletely deciphered.
Researchers have identified genetic factors that increase susceptibility to schizophrenia, underscoring the intricate interplay between genetics and environment in disease development. At the core of schizophrenia's pathophysiology is excessive dopaminergic neurotransmission within...

Folliculogenesis01:20

Folliculogenesis

452
Folliculogenesis is the development of ovarian follicles, the specialized structures within the ovarian cortex where oogenesis, or egg development, occurs. This process is essential for female reproductive health and begins during fetal development when primordial follicles are formed. Each primordial follicle comprises a primary oocyte in the center, surrounded by a single layer of squamous pre-granulosa cells. These follicles remain dormant in late prophase I of meiosis until triggered by...

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Genetics
    • Molecular Biology

    Background:

    • Androgenetic alopecia is a prevalent, chronic hair loss disorder causing follicular miniaturization.
    • It significantly impacts patient quality of life, despite being a benign condition.
    • Existing FDA-approved treatments (minoxidil, finasteride) show limited efficacy for some individuals.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the complex mechanisms underlying androgenetic alopecia.
    • To identify key factors contributing to hair loss.
    • To explore potential future research directions for effective treatments.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of studies on androgenetic alopecia pathogenesis.
    • Analysis of genetic, hormonal, and cellular factors involved.
  • Synthesis of current understanding of disease mechanisms.

    • Main Results:

    • Genetic factors are crucial in individual variations of androgenetic alopecia.
    • Increased 5-α reductase and androgen receptors in hair follicles are key pathogenic elements.
    • Microinflammation, oxidative stress, stem cell loss, and metabolic syndrome are associated factors.

    Conclusions:

    • Androgenetic alopecia pathogenesis is multifactorial, involving genetics and hormonal influences.
    • Understanding these mechanisms is vital for developing improved therapeutic strategies.
    • Further research is needed to address the unmet needs in treating this common hair loss condition.
