Clock genes, hair growth and aging
Hair follicles undergo continuous cycles of growth, involution and rest. This process, referred to as the hair growth cycle, has a periodicity of weeks to months. At the same time, skin and hair follicles harbor a functional circadian clock that regulates gene expression with a periodicity of approximately twenty four hours. In our recent study we found that circadian clock genes play a role in...
متن کاملLocal therapy as basic anti-aging prevention.
Skin, the largest organ of the body, is the organ in which changes associated with aging are most visible. Intrinsic (chronologic) skin aging is characterized by atrophy of the skin with loss of elasticity and slowed metabolic activity. With superposition of environmental damage, particularly exposure to ultraviolet radiation (photodamage) on the intrinsic aging, the process results, at least i...
متن کاملSelective anti-cancer agents as anti-aging drugs
Recent groundbreaking discoveries have revealed that IGF-1, Ras, MEK, AMPK, TSC1/2, FOXO, PI3K, mTOR, S6K, and NFκB are involved in the aging process. This is remarkable because the same signaling molecules, oncoproteins and tumor suppressors, are well-known targets for cancer therapy. Furthermore, anti-cancer drugs aimed at some of these targets have been already developed. This arsenal could ...

The hair care industry has become aware of this and is delivering active products directed towards meeting this consumer demand. The discovery of pharmacological targets and the developme...
متن کاملAging, anti-aging, and hormesis.
As a result of almost 50 years of efforts in collecting descriptive data, biogerontologists are now able to construct general principles of aging and to explore possibilities of gerontomodulation. Most of the data indicate that aging is characterized by a stochastic accumulation of molecular damage and a progressive failure of maintenance and repair, and the genes involved in homeodynamic pathw...
