In the treatment of alopecia - several discoveries

Researchers from the University of Southern California say they have made several discoveries that could be the basis for the methods of treatment of baldness and even the restoration of the skin. This news will warm response especially among men.

In the journal The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published the results of three studies of American scientists associated with the problem hair loss . This problem is relevant to two-thirds of men have to 35 years, with a 50 significant hair loss has been observed for 85% of men.

However, hair loss   relevant not only for men, as 40% of the victims of this phenomenon in the United States are women. Dr. Krzysztof Kobelyaki together with colleagues at the University of Southern California was able to identify some of the factors that affect the onset of hair growth and termination, as well as hair loss. In the first study, the researchers identified a series of genes that control the growth cycle.

During the second survey identified two proteins that give rise to signal critical for the regulation of stem cells in the follicle during the growth of new hair. Finally, a third study gave a detailed analysis of gene Wnt7b, activating hair growth. It turned out that the gene contributes to the weakening of the beginning of baldness. In general, the researchers found that the stem cells of the follicle (hfSCs) are capable of most of these follicles are regenerated. They are controlled by those genes that have been discovered in the first study.

According to the scientists, their findings can be used as the basis for radically new techniques treat baldness   and hair loss. Will this technique is effective, and in many human diseases. For example, it can help to restore the skin will burn patients, and to treat the victims of skin cancer. (READ MORE)
