High efficiency genetic modification of hair follicles and growing hair shafts.
A technique for genetic modification of hair follicles was developed which results in efficient alteration of the hair shaft phenotype. High-level in vivo transgene expression was maintained in hair follicles such that growing hair shafts were phenotypically altered. Mouse anagen skin fragments, maintained in histoculture, were genetically modified at high efficiency with adenoviral-GFP. The hi...
متن کاملHair Shafts
L. Rudnicka et al. (eds.), Atlas of Trichoscopy, DOI 10.1007/978-1-4471-4486-1_2, © Springer-Verlag London 2012 Most hairs viewed on trichoscopy are normal terminal hairs that are more than 55 m m wide and are uniform in thickness and color [ 1, 2 ] . Hair shaft thickness may be roughly estimated with a handheld dermoscope (thin, normal, thick). Many videodermoscopes include software allowing a...
متن کاملProstanoids and Hair Follicles: Implications for Therapy of Hair Disorders.
Prostanoids, including prostaglandins (PGs) and thromboxane A2 (TXA2), are a family of lipid-derived autacoids that modulate many physiological systems and pathological contexts. Prostanoids are generated by sequential metabolism of arachidonic acid, catalysed by cyclo-oxygenase, to PGH2, which is then converted to PGD2, PGE2, PGF2α, PGI2 and TXA2, catalysed by their specific synthases. Recent ...
متن کاملFrequency of Sodium Valproate-Induced Hair Loss and Curly Hair
Sodium valproate has been widely used by man as an antiepileptic drug. Hair loss and curly hair is a rare side effect of sodium valproate. We have conducted a prospective clinical study in the Department of Neurology in Shafa Hospital, Kerman, Iran for ten years (1994-2004). All 211 epileptic patients in our study were given sodium valproate as a single drug treatment. During the course of ther...
متن کاملPlucked Human Hair Shafts and Biomolecular Medical Research
The hair follicle is a skin integument at the boundary between an organism and its immediate environment. The biological role of the human hair follicle has lost some of its ancestral importance. However, an indepth investigation of this miniorgan reveals hidden complexity with huge research potential. An essential consideration when dealing with human research is the awareness of potential har...
