Hereditary hair loss and the ancient signaling pathways....
Van Raamsdonk CD.
....hair, teeth, and nails, begin as a thickening of the ectoderm, called a placode. The placode arises from a primary induction signal that is sent from the underlying mesenchyme. The arrangement of hair follicles is due to the amount and distribution of signals that promote and inhibit hair placode formation. Continued development of a hair follicle after placode formation requires a complex cross-talk. Here, I will review recent studies in humans and mice that have increased our understanding of the role of these signaling pathways...in hereditary hair loss syndromes.....
