SCIENCE INVESTIGATORY PROJECT- PROPOSAL
EXTRACT ABELMOSCHUS ESCULENTUS FOR ALOPECIA ANDROGENETICA OR BALDNESS
CHAPTER 1
Abstract
Baldness was found as a typical problem now a day. Baldness or Alopecia Androgenetica is a hair loss condition considered an autoimmune disease, in which the immune system, which is designed to protect the body from foreign invaders such as viruses and bacteria, mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, the tiny cup-shaped structures from which hairs grow. This can lead to hair problems and hair loss on the scalp and elsewhere.
If you have a close family member with the disease, your risk of developing it is slightly increased. If your family member lost his or her first patch of hair before age 30, the risk to other family members is greater. Overall, one in five people with the disease has a family member who has it as well. In alopecia, immune system cells called white blood cells attack the rapidly growing cells in the hair follicles that make the hair. The affected hair follicles become small and drastically slow down hair production. Fortunately, the stem cells that continually supply the follicle with new cells do not seem to be targeted. So the follicle always has the potential to regrow hair. My friends were talking about the hair loss of their grand parents or also their parents and one of them said that if a young boy or girl got loss of his/her hair, what will they do or what treatment will they use?. Well, coincidentally, one of them thinks of what they are going to do to prevent or experience such a thing. This was when we got the idea of making an investigation on such a matter. We, researchers, being very curious themselves, tried to fill their curiosity. Trying to find out if natural or herbal plants can be an ingredient to create or turn it out as a great and best one to prevent hair loss or baldness. After a lot of inquiries and brain storming, we finally found how to
