Experts believe that in ten children a woman can do decide what color their hair will grow - it will be possible due to simple genetic corrections for cells of the scalp. Her technique was successfully tested by researchers from Stanford University, to find out which gene should be changed to make the hair lighter or darker.
Science has long been known that the genes controlling the synthesis process pigments which define the hair and skin of certain specific human ottenok.Uchenye Stanford have discovered that a small correction in a single gene can make the hair or fur is much lighter or darker. According to the data, published in the journal Nature Genetics, the researchers were able to identify the gene KITLG, which has a very strong influence on the color of all the animals - for example, the skin coloration in fish coloration wool (or hair) in a mammal. Biologists had enough to affect all one letter of the genetic code, but this is very minor manipulation seriously affect the appearance of the animals. During the experiment, mice scientists thus includes "blond gene" and "gene babe" - and indeed, prepared animal with dark and light hair.
According to doctors, today, gene therapy, which involves the replacement of one gene to other cells in the adult human, applied in the case of heavy and intractable diseases. However, just in the last year Gene technology greatly improved, so that in the near future gene therapy will allow people to change the hair color without the use of chemical dyes. The hair will grow just that shade of I want to. (READ MORE)
