Dandruff-associated smouldering alopecia: a chronobiological assessment over 5 years. (2006)
Pierard, Claudine, Xhauflaire, Emmanuelle, Loussouarn, G, Saint Leger, D, Pierard, Gérald
BACKGROUND: In some individuals, dandruff may be recurrent and even chronic. This represents a difficult-to-treat condition. Excessive hair shedding and diffuse alopecia may develop. OBJECTIVES: To...
The hair eclipse phenomenon: sharpening the focus on the hair cycle chronobiology. (2003)
Pierard, Claudine, Petit, L., Loussouarn, G, Saint-Leger, D, Pierard, Gérald
Chronobiology governing the hair cycle is a fascinating and complex process. Both the hair growth cycle and the hair shaft growth are coordinated and depend on the interplay of different biological...
Effect of residence time on the efficacy of antidandruff shampoos. (2003)
Pierard, Claudine, Uhoda, Emmanuelle, Loussouarn, G, Saint-Leger, D, Pierard, Gérald
Dandruff is known to be controlled by fungistatic shampoos active against Malassezia spp. These products also remove the loosely attached scales. This study was performed to assess the effect of a...
Modeling the dynamics of human hair cycles by a follicular automaton
Halloy, J., Bernard, B. A., Loussouarn, G., Goldbeter, A.
The hair follicle cycle successively goes through the anagen, catagen, telogen, and latency phases, which correspond, respectively, to hair growth, arrest, shedding, and absence before a new anagen...
Loussouarn, G., Bellocq, C., Baró, I., Charpentier, F., Escande, D.
Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) is a major signaling molecule implicated in the regulation of various ion transporters and channels. Here we show that PIP2 and intracellular MgATP...
The kinetic and physical basis of K(ATP) channel gating: toward a unified molecular understanding.
Enkvetchakul, D, Loussouarn, G, Makhina, E, Shyng, S L, Nichols, C G
K(ATP) channels can be formed from Kir6.2 subunits with or without SUR1. The open-state stability of K(ATP) channels can be increased or reduced by mutations throughout the Kir6.2 subunit, and is...
ATP interaction with the open state of the K(ATP) channel.
Enkvetchakul, D, Loussouarn, G, Makhina, E, Nichols, C G
The mechanism of ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channel closure by ATP is unclear, and various kinetic models in which ATP binds to open or to closed states have previously been presented. Effects...
