History is littered with anecdotal evidence of the relationship between stress and graying hair, from Marie Antionette’s overnight transformation following her capture, to US presidents taking on more salt than pepper during their tenure. A new study h… Continue reading Stress study shows graying hair is reversible
Stress can affect the human body in all sorts of ways, with one Harvard study last year demonstrating how it can lead to premature graying of the hair, as just one example. The same researchers have now expanded on this with a new paper detailing how s… Continue reading Stress hormone study offers new target to treat hair loss
Much mystery surrounds the biological processes that lead to hair loss in humans, but scientists continue to make discoveries that unravel these secrets and lay the foundation for technologies that may one day treat it. Researchers in Japan have shed y… Continue reading Unbalanced cell division offers a new target for treating baldness
A breakthrough study from scientists at Japan’s RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research has homed in on the specific characteristics of stem cells in the skin responsible for hair cell regeneration and also identified the optimal ingredients to g… Continue reading Stem cell breakthrough brings baldness cure one step closer
Besides laundry-washing and lawn-sprinkling, the daily washing of hair uses up a lot of water. L’Oréal’s new Water Saver system is designed to help, by reportedly reducing the amount of water used in hair-washing by up to 80 percent.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading L’Oréal tech could reduce hair-washing water use by 80 percent
Reliably regrowing hair is one of those advances that’s proving trickier than you might imagine, but scientists have plenty of leads to follow. Now, researchers from North Carolina State University have identified a particular microRNA molecule that ap… Continue reading Hair-regrowth molecule could bypass stem cell treatments for baldness
A landmark study, led by researchers from Massachusetts Eye and Ear, presents a novel hypothesis to explain age-related hearing loss, challenging the prevailing view that has dominated over half a century of medical science. The new research offers evi… Continue reading Hair-regrowth tech could reverse main cause of age-related hearing loss
Technology could really use some more sustainable sources, and now researchers at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) have turned to an unusual one. The team has shown that human hair from barber shops can be used to create OLED displays.Cont… Continue reading Discarded human hair repurposed to make new OLED screens
South Korean researchers have shown a stem-cell-based topical solution can regrow hair in both male and female subjects with common pattern baldness. The small, randomized, placebo-controlled trial found the treatment both safe and effective, with larg… Continue reading Stem cell topical solution for baldness offers positive trial results
