baldness

The study researchers are suggesting that prolonged pulling at the hair strands may cause inflammation of the hair follicle, which can cause scarring, and with repeated pulling, the scarring can turn into hair loss or central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA).

Hair grooming linked to baldness

US scientists have identified a defect in stem cells involved in hair growth, an achievement that can help develop targets for manipulating hair growth, thereby ending the frustration and embarrassment of baldness.

Lead researcher, George Cotsarelis, Assistant Professor of dermatology from the University of Pennsylvania stated, “A large contingent of the population has male pattern baldness and some will go to any ends to try to reverse it.

“This lowers the bar for developing a treatment. It definitely gives us hope we can reverse the condition.”

In an exciting new research, German scientists have created the world’s first hair follicle, using stem cells that promise hair growth, an achievement that can end the frustration and embarrassment of baldness and provide a proven cure.

For many years scientists have focused on the capabilities and promise of stem cells that are the body’s master cells.

Stem cell science has established a workable theory for how adult stem cells can be generated into any tissue in the human body from blood to bone and whole organs.
