Hair Loss

The study of genetics will improve hair baldness therapy. Preventing baldness is possible. Treatment pharmacological minoxidil and finasteride has opened the way for others medications to treat hair loss. the future, according to experts, is gene therapy for hair loss. if until recently the treatment of baldness and hair loss was a breeding ground for false promises, at present, the scientific way towards solving the alopecia and hair loss has just begun. New derivatives of finasteride as episteride, the turusteride, MK-963, the RU-58841 or the local palicacin receptor antagonists of male hormones are being of various tests to treat hair loss.

According to a review published in August in New England Journal of Medicine , there are now many fronts in the search fo find a remedy for hair loss. on the one hand, the Boston magazine refers to the need to know all key pathophysiological different kinds of alopecia and well design drugs that protect the follicles which causes deterioration stop producing hair. But without a doubt, scholars have put almost all its hope in the possibilities offered by gene therapy. we have already identified one of the genes associated with alopecia universalis, a type baldness very rare in which a mutation in a gene on chromosome 8 causes the affected person has no hair on any part of your body.

According Authors of this review, identify and explain the operation of all the genes involved in androgenetic hair loss will be critical to develop treatments. for Ralf Paus and George Cotsarelis, a dermatologist in Hamburg University and Pennsylvania, the hair follicle is the way of access more feasible to implement them. for now, being tested on mice local laboratory introduction of liposomes containing DNA capable of regenerate the damaged follicle. if some of these expectations come to fruition, it will mean a step giant in the eradication of what for many is a very serious problem.

The two Sigma Research Institute, presented last week a study on the psychological impact of mild to moderate hair loss in 403 males between 25 and 45. 63% of respondents feel less attractive and 28% believed that most hair could find mates more easily. More than half of those who said they felt anxious about hair loss, and 14% of those who say not to worry about the problem, have tried some kind of remedy for hairloss. all who are in these circumstances must know that, for now, only two medications have proven effective to treat baldness.

One is minoxidil, a vasodilator of smooth muscle (whose mechanism of action is still unknown) that triggers the hair follicles and get hair loss improved by over 80% of patients, with little effect side. the second is finasteride, released on 1998. this drug inhibits an enzyme that promotes male baldness genetically predisposed. it has been shown that finasteride slows alopecia in 80% of cases, with a good safety profile and few contraindications.

Opioid receptor (OR) antagonists, such as naltrexone (NTX), can attenuate the behaviour-reinforcing effects of primary (food) and secondary rewards. GSK1521498 is a novel OR ligand, which behaves as an inverse agonist at the μ-OR sub-type. In a sample of healthy volunteers, we used [(11)C]-carfentanil positron emission tomography to measure the OR occupancy and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure activation of brain reward centres by palatable food stimuli before and after single oral doses of GSK1521498 (range, 0.4-100 mg) or NTX (range, 2-50 mg). GSK1521498 had high affinity for human brain ORs (GSK1521498 effective concentration 50=7.10 ng ml(-1)) and there was a direct relationship...

    This is why a closed system is a problem with the advancement of science! Instead of ideas being freely given and expressed, it has a one-party system that lacks accountability, that also lacks the tough questions which are seldom asked by the media.

    Wow!

    Are these the same ("liberal") scientists who design the drugs that you take for your high blood pressure? Maybe you should instead consult an exorcist to kick out your blood-pressure demon.

    Are these the same scientists who use evolutionary geology to find oil and coal deposits to power your technotoys? Maybe you should insist that oil companies hire biblical exegetes instead.

    Are these the same scientists who design GPS satellites using the constant speed of light for the past 14 billion years to keep you from getting lost? They will lead you astray; you really should instead follow revelatory commands from Heaven.

    Michael and his ilk (yes, you, creationbydesign) smugly accept the fruits of modern technology based upon theories that they deny. Now THAT is true hypocrisy.

    Michael wonders how humans could have existed for 35,000---or was it 80,000-100,000, or 850,000, or (most recently) 955,00?---years without developing so much as the iPad. Maybe it was because they were creationists.

    We were all creationists until just a couple of centuries ago. Then look what happened.

    Wow!]]>
