Alopecia pattern baldness, and hirsutism
INTRODUCTION:
The hair is one of the descriptive characters of the mammals. The abnormalities of the hair are always results not only because of defect in the hair growth cycle but also loosening of the surrounding dermal layers. Also the hormonal imbalances will be acting as a triggering factor for the abnormalities.
EXPLANATION:
Alopecia:
It is loss of hair from the body mainly from scalp. It is otherwise called as spot baldness. It may be results from autoimmune diseases. Usually it is round patchy loss of hair.
Pattern baldness:
It is a permanent loss of hair from the scalp. Both males and females are affected equally. If it occurs in males, it is called as androgenic alopecia. In females, it is called as androgenetic alopecia. But hair loss rarely proceeds to baldness in females compare to males.
Hirsutism:
It is a term refers to an excessive body hair with increased size and pigmentation. It can be caused by an increased androgens level or hair follicle sensitivity to androgens.
CONCLUSION:
The hair is not only a subject of aesthetic sense. But it is also an indicator of overall health. Hence it is very important to rescue the hair from losing and monitoring for the hair problems.

Describe one way by which Nodal gets amplified in this region." My understanding of this is that there are a few ways nodal is amplified though I'm not sure if this is specifically occurs on the opposite side of the AVE. 1. pronodal cleaved by protease -> active nodal 2. Nodal -> BMP4 -> Wnt-> nodal 3. Nodal-> Nodal, Fox1 binding site 4. BMP4 on outside-> nodal Are all of these occuring opposite to AVE?arrow_forward

What is the phenotype, and why is the phenotype so similar? Is the phenotype going to be that there is a disruption of the formation of the neural tube for both of these because bottle cell formation is necessary for the neural plate to fold in forming the neural tube and Shroom3 is further needed to close the neural plate? So since both Plekhg5 and Shroom3 are used in forming the neural tube, injecting the mRNA will just lead to neural tube deformity?arrow_forward
