TLDR Specific genes influence hair growth and quality in goats and sheep.

The document reviewed the anatomy and development of hair follicles in animals, particularly goats and sheep, focusing on the genetic factors influencing hair production and quality. It identified that 10,077 genes were expressed in primary hair follicles and 7,772 in secondary follicles. The study also discussed the structure of hair follicles, their morphogenesis, and the stages of the hair cycle (anagen, catagen, and telogen), highlighting the role of specific genes in these processes. The scope included examining genes related to hair quality from follicle formation to the initiation and repetition of the hair cycle.

community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

in Research 692 upvotes 1 month ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
