History Anatomy The hair itself, or the shaft, is composed of keratin, and is essentially a collection of dead cells which are the product of the hair follicle. The hair follicle describes an invagination of the epidermis into the underlying dermis. The proximal end of the follicle has an onion-shaped dilatation called the bulb, which is hollow at its base and envelopes the dermal papilla. The follicle has two layers, the dermal layer (fibrous tissue) and the epidermal layer. Into each follicle, the arrectores pilorum muscle inserts at the dermal layer below the entrance of the sebaceous gland duct. The arrectore pilorus acts to elevate the hair shaft and express sebum.

Scientists were able to successfully transform skin cells into hair follicles in lab mice through the introduction of a so-called messenger molecule containing the protein beta catenin. "We've always been told that you're born with a fixed number of hair follicles and that you can never grow them again in adult life," said Angela Christiano of Columbia University. "This study would suggest we now we have the capability to do that." Similar experiments on humans, however, are not likely in the near future. The scientists have created some very hairy lab mice, but still don't understand how to contain the hair follicle growth process. "You can actually go too far and cause the cells to grow too much," said University of Chicago researcher

Newswatch Last Updated: Monday, 15 March, 2004, 10:47 GMT E-mail this to a friend Printable version Stem cells 'can reverse baldness' The discovery could lead to new treatments for baldness Scientists believe they may have found a new way to reverse baldness and treat conditions like alopecia. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania have identified stem cells or master cells in the hair follicles of mice. They found that these cells grow into hair follicles and produce hair when transplanted into skin. Writing in Nature Biotechnology, they said the discovery could lead to new treatments for humans. Key genes The researchers found certain genes were activated in the stem cells that were not activated in other hair follicle or skin cells. They are now planning further research to identify these genes in humans. These findings provide potential targets for the treatment of hair loss Researchers, University of Pennsylvania They said developing drugs to affect these genes could lead to new ways of controlling hair growth. "By defining these molecular markers, we will be able to isolate human stem cells from hair follicles," Dr George Cotsarelis, one of those involved in the study, told Reuters.

Researchers at the Howard Hughes Institute at the University of Chicago have managed to get hair follicles to form in the mature skin cells of mice. This is remarkable because follicle formation is a once-in-a-lifetime event that ordinarily happens only during early the earliest stages of human development. Once hair follicles are gone, they are not replaced. Normal hair: A non genetically-engineered mouse This latest research, published in the journal Cell, suggests a molecule called beta-catenin may be the key messenger that tells embryonic cells - cells that have yet to develop in specific directions - to become hair follicles. If this is correct, the scientists may be able to use this knowledge to develop treatments that will promote the re-growth of hair in bald men.

Hair Loss in Women Is hair loss in women different than men? What treatments are there for hair loss in women? Introduction There are many kinds of hair loss, including what we call: alopecia areata (patches of baldness that usually grow back); telogen effluvium (rapid shedding after childbirth, fever, or sudden weight loss); and traction alopecia (thinning from tight braids or ponytails). All of these types of hair loss can be alarming but, fortunately, they are most often mild and temporary or reversible. The majority of people who lose their hair, however, do it gradually and all through the scalp, with some emphasis on the frontal part. Doctors refer to this process as "androgenetic alopecia" which implies that a combination of hormones (andro-) and heredity (genetics) is needed to develop the condition.

Pet Bird Magazine, Ezine August 2000 Magazine COMMON SKIN AND FEATHER DISORDERS Part I by Linda Pesek DVM, Diplomate ABVP (Avian) There are a number of diseases and disorders which can affect birds skin and feathers. Some may be inherited, while others, such as parasites, can be contracted. Knowing which are serious and what to do if they occur can greatly improve a bird's comfort and even save its life. Some of the more common skin and feather disorders are discussed below. Others are covered in Common Skin and Feather Disorders Part II. Feather Cysts Feather cysts appear as oval or elongated swellings involving a single or several feather follicles. Although they may occur anywhere, they most commonly are found involving the primary feathers of the wings. A feather cyst occurs when a growing feather is unable to protrude through the skin and curls within the follicle. As the feather continues to grow, the mass enlarges and a cheesy exudative material composed of keratin accumulates. Although feather cysts may be seen in all species, the highest incidence is in Blue and Gold Macaws and certain breeds of canaries. It is thought these feather cysts may be the result of an inherited predisposition - as in certain species of canaries or acquired as a result of infection or trauma involving the feather follicle.
