University Of Albany Research Study Demonstrates Novel Mechanism Of Action For New Hair Growth Formulation
Rensselaer, NY (PRWEB) July 2, 2010
Because chronic inflammation of the hair follicle is considered a contributing factor in the onset and progression of common pattern hair loss, study investigators Sridar Chittur, Brian Parr & Geno Marcovici sought to measure the test material's activity in blocking key markers of pathologic inflammation by using a well-validated molecular assay representative of hair follicle keratinocytes. Specifically, the research team found that the test compound suppressed gene expression of several inflammatory chemokines potentially linked to hair loss.
Hair loss affects over forty million American men and twenty million American women. The hair loss treatment industry represents a multi-billion dollar revenue stream annually.
In addition to anti-inflammatory agents, TS050508A was formulated with a subset of botanically derived, highly potent DHT inhibitors. DHT is a well-known trigger of pattern hair loss. Thus, by combining targeted anti-inflammatory agents with potent DHT inhibitors the test composition has been designed to offer enhanced clinical efficacy over conventional monotherapy.
Lead scientist for the study Sridar Chittur, Ph.D. has been at the forefront of molecular research authoring published works ranging from degenerative mitral valve disease (DMVD), to transcriptional changes associated with oxidative stress in the mitochondria. Co-author Brian Parr, Ph.D. brings a wealth of basic science expertise to the project with a number of peer-reviewed papers describing novel gene transcription and protein expression profiles in the Wnt and Frizzled pathways.
Study co-author Geno Marcovici, Ph.D. has been active in the hair loss field for more than a decade. His research efforts include the first published clinical trial successfully testing naturally derived 5 alpha reductase inhibitors in the setting of pattern hair loss. Explaining the importance of validating ART's proprietary formulations Marcovici notes that "[a]side from HairGenesis
University of North Carolina GAA Selects Harris Connect to Launch a Mobile App that Integrates Content and Communications for Alumni, Students and Other Campus Department
Brewster, NY (PRWEB) May 11, 2011
Harris Connect today announces the extension of their partnership with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill General Alumni Association (GAA) with the addition of a custom mobile application that provides an integrated communications and content portal for on-campus and alumni constituents.
UNC GAA has a long-standing relationship with Harris Connect to offer constituents and campus groups powerful tools for connection and engagement, including an online community, email marketing and constituent sites as branded hubs for campus groups. The addition of a mobile app is a natural evolution of the Universitys commitment to meeting the information needs of users campus-wide.
Said Keith King, Associate Editor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill General Alumni Association (GAA), Because of our ongoing relationship with Harris Connect for Web services, we knew they understood what we do. That made it easier to integrate current services into a user-friendly mobile experience, such as our searchable alumni directory. There was a level of comfort and trust with the partnership, as well as economy.
The UNC Mobile App combines high-value content and communications functionality in a single, convenient interface:
