October 2017 in “Stem Cell Reports” The study demonstrated that Alkaline Ceramidase 1 (ACER1) was crucial for maintaining the homeostasis of hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) and preventing premature hair loss in mice by regulating ceramide metabolism. Mice lacking the Acer1 gene showed increased ceramide levels, leading to HFSC depletion, disrupted hair follicle cycling, and progressive hair loss. The absence of ACER1 resulted in morphological changes in hair follicles, lipid accumulation, and impaired hair structure and function. The research highlighted the importance of ACER1 in regulating ceramide metabolism and maintaining HFSC homeostasis, suggesting its potential as a target for treating hair loss conditions.

March 2024 in “Translational Journal of the American College of Sports Medicine” Athletic trainers (ATs) are vital in identifying and managing feeding and eating disorders in athletes, who are at higher risk than the general population. These disorders can have severe consequences, including death, especially in cases like anorexia nervosa. ATs, often the first to notice signs due to their regular interactions with athletes, work within a multidisciplinary team that includes physicians, dietitians, and mental health specialists to provide comprehensive care and ensure a safe return to play. They face challenges in distinguishing disordered behaviors, particularly in sports with aesthetic or weight classifications. ATs are encouraged to implement referral and treatment policies, focusing on prevention and education for coaches and athletes to mitigate risks and long-term effects.

January 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
