S1 guideline for diagnostic evaluation in androgenetic alopecia in men, women and adolescents.
Wed, 25 Aug 2010 23:00:00 +0100 | The British Journal of Dermatology
Authors: Blume-Peytavi U, Blumeyer A, Tosti A, Finner A, Marmol V, Trakatelli M, Reygagne P, Messenger A Abstract Androgenetic alopecia is the most common hair loss disorder, affecting both men and women. Due to the frequency and the often significant impairment of life perceived by the affected patients, competent advice, diagnosis and treatment is particularly important. As evidence-based guidelines on hair disorders are rare, a European consensus group was constituted to develop guidelines for diagnostic evaluation and treatment of androgenetic alopecia. This S1 guideline for diagnostic evaluation in androgenetic alopecia in men, women and adolescents review the definition of androgenetic alopecia and presents expert-opinion based recommendations for gender-dependent steps in the di...

Stem Cell Breakthrough Offers Possible Treatments For Baldness and More
Tue, 24 Aug 2010 20:00:47 +0100 | BioHealth Investor
In a recent breakthrough for stem cell technology, Swiss and Scottish scientists at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland discovered that when stem cells from the thymus were transplanted into the developing skin of rats, new follice cells, capable of hair-growth, were created.  These cells are more potent than normal hair follicle stem cells, supporting hair for a year rather than a week, implying a possible cure for human baldness. This breakthrough, which was not the original aim of the scientists, also raises possibilities for different outcomes when the thymus cells are combined with cells other than skin.  A new cell, they have discovered, that can be transformed by its environment.

Impaired turnover of autophagolysosomes in cathepsin L deficiency
Tue, 24 Aug 2010 08:43:51 +0100 | Biological Chemistry
Biological Chemistry 391 (8): 913-922 Abstract Some of the phenotypes of mice deficient for the lysosomal cysteine endopeptidase cathepsin L (Ctsl) are characterized by large dysmorphic vesicles in the cytoplasm. Specifically, the heart (dilative cardiomyopathy), the thyroid (impaired thyroglobulin processing) and keratinocytes (periodic hair loss and epidermal hyperproliferation) are affected. We hypothesized that the formation of aberrant vesicles is owing to defects in macroautophagy. Therefore, primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF), which were derived from Ctsl-/- animals crossed with mice transgenic for the autophagy marker GFP-LC3, were investigated. Ctsl-/- MEF show increased number and size of vesicular structures belonging to the ‘acidic’ cellular compartment and are also ...
