Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the present monograph, leading figures in the field of genetic hair research summarise major recent advances. View as a whole, these reviews of each of the major areas of hair genodermatology not only illustrate the importance of recent findings to our understanding of skin biology and the management of hair disorders, but also underscore the relevance of hair genetic research to non-cutaneous pathologies. The wealth of recent discoveries combined with the application of emergent technologies to the study of hair biology and diseases have placed this discipline at the forefront of biological research, generating unprecedented challenges for investigative dermatology that are transpiring throughout this new and pioneering book.
Download or read book Molecular Genetic Studies of Alopecia Disorder written by Muhammad Saad Ahmed and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almighty Allah says in the Holy Quran (Chapter 64, Verse 3) "He (Almighty Allah) created the heavens and the earth with truth, and He shaped you (man) and made good your shapes." If there is a minor change in the single nucleotide of DNA or change in single base pair, that leads to deadly genetic disorder.This book is compiled on human genetic disorder, alopecia- dysregulation of hair growth, the word "Alopecia" is derived from Greek language meaning "hair loss or baldness." The hereditary alopecias are having great biological interest because they can normally be connected to a particular malfunctioning gene product. The genetic studies of several forms of alopecia in inherited families led to the identification of novel genes/loci controlling hair growth. In the present study, Pakistani families having isolated type of hereditary alopecia were recruited to find out genetic causes. Novel mutation was identified in HR gene of one family and already knows mutation was identified in LPAR6 gene of another family.Identification of novel mutation and subsequent characterization of proteins they encode will further increase our knowledge of molecular mechanisms underlying the disease.

Book excerpt: Epigenetics: Can you control the genes that are linked to hair loss? Yes! Your internal genetic programming and external environment can be altered and affected by changes in your diet, lifestyle, inflammation, immunity, vitamin intake, mineral intake, stress levels, sleep patterns, and exercise habits. These can all have an effect on a person's epigenetics, turning genes on and off. It's in the blood.Analyzing blood offers a snapshot of a person's health. It shows which vitamins and minerals you are deficient in, what hormones are present, and in what quantity (to include stress and sex hormones), which inflammation markers are present, such as C-Reactive Protein, CRP. This information is valuable, as it can help the Trichologist determine the cause of a client's hair loss, and offer treatment plans that aim to stabilize or normalize blood chemistry and regrow hair. Science Meets Nature: Proven, Effective, Holistic Therapies for Treating Hair Loss.The Hair Again Protocol treatments provide a holistic (whole-body) approach- addressing the mind and body's internal and external environments. The goal is to help control body inflammation, stress responses, mineral deficiencies, hormonal imbalances and more that are epigenetically tied to hair loss. The mission of the Hair Again Protocols is to help the Trichologist's client to not only look better but to FEEL better- physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Biology of Hair Growth is based on a conference on The Biology of Hair Growth, sponsored by the British Society for Research on Ageing, held at the Royal College of Surgeons, in London, 7-9 August 1957. The papers presented at this conference, and a few others, have been gathered in this book to serve as a source reference for all those interested in research on hair and hair growth. The application of modern methods in histology, cytology, histochemistry, physiology, electron microscopy, the use of radioactive isotopes, and modern biochemical techniques have given greater insight into the phenomena of growth and differentiation of hair follicles than ever before. The book opens with a chapter on the embryology of hair. Separate chapters follow on the anatomy and histochemistry of the hair follicle; the electron microscopy of keratinized tissues; the chemistry of keratinization; the mitotic activity of the follicle; and the the vascularity and patterns of growth of hair follicles. Subsequent chapters deal with behavior of pigment cells and epithelial cells in the hair follicle; the nature of hair pigment; the effects of nutrition on hair growth; and effects of chemical agents, ionizing radiation, and particular illnesses on hair roots.

This book was released on 2014-12-23 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Biology - Micro- and Molecular Biology, grade: 1, International Islamic University, language: English, abstract: Alopecia is a broad term including many forms of hereditary hair loss resulting from genetic defects affecting hair growth cycle or hair structure that vary in age of onset, severity and associated ectodermal abnormalities. The inheritance pattern of alopecia can be autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive or X-linked. Various mutations in several genes on different chromosomes are being identified which are involved in pathogenesis of inherited autosomal recessive alopecia. In present research, two families (A&B) with isolated hereditary alopecia, residing in different zones of Pakistan were ascertained. The mode of inheritance inferred as autosomal recessive. One family was subjected to mutation screening while on other, polymorphic microsatellite markers was used for the purpose of homozygosity mapping to explicate the gene defect. Phenotypic analysis of family A shows the characteristic clinical features of hypotrichosis with sparse hair on head and rest of body and with no associated abnormality. Gene linked to this family in previous research was CDH3. So, splice-junction site and sixteen exons of this gene were sequenced but were negative for functonal sequence variant. This clearly shows mutation must be present in regulatory region of this gene. In family B, affected individual’s shows clinical features of atrichia with papular lesions (APL) which is rare autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by occurrence of complete hair loss with the development of keratin-filled cysts. Known candidate genes (DSG4, HR, LIPH and LPAR6) were tested for homozygosity mapping via polymorphic microsatellite markers. Genotyping data showed no linkage to any of the candidate loci and therefore, their involvement in causing atrichia with papular lesions in this family is not supported.

Download or read book Handbook of hair in health and disease written by Victor R. Preedy and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-05-23 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hair is a major component of the body's tissue system that contributes to the individual's make up and confers a large degree of personal identity. Apart from its visible façade, hair also has a functional role. It has an unique structure and complex molecular development. The very nature of hair makes it a suitable marker for the prognosis of disease. Hair can also be used to screen for toxins and changes in the diet. However, there are currently no suitable publications available that describe hair in a rational scientific context. This handbook provides an academic approach to hair in health and disease. Divided into five sections the Handbook of Hair in Health and Disease provides an insight into hair growth and loss, molecular and cellular biology of hair, dietary toxicity and pathological history, diseases and treatments of hair, as well as shampoos and conditioners. Unique features of each chapter in this volume include relevant and useful 'Key facts' which highlight interesting or important findings of the specific subjects and 'Summary points' that will give a clear overview of the subjects treated in each chapter. The Handbook of Hair in Health and Disease will be essential to a variety of users, such as trichologists, doctors and nurses and all those interested or working within the area of hair health. This includes nutritionists and dieticians, scientific beauticians, health workers and practitioners, college and university lecturers and undergraduate and graduate students.
