In some good news for nearly half the world’s men, scientists have found that a naturally occurring sugar in humans and animals could be harnessed as a topical treatment for male pattern baldness. This discovery could deliver a non-invasive, inexpensiv… Continue reading Hair-loss hope: Natural sugar stimulates significant regrowth
A surprise result in a lab experiment has led to the discovery of an ancient biological stress pathway that can trigger cells to stop making what’s needed to grow hair. Scientists believe this opens the door to developing a pre-emptive strike, protecti… Continue reading Hair loss prevented by blocking ancient biological mechanism
Scientists at Harvard have developed a promising new treatment to reverse hair loss associated with alopecia. Painless microneedle patches loaded with an immune regulating drug regrew hair in mice with alopecia within a few weeks.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Hair loss reversed with drug-loaded microneedle patches for alopecia
A component of the aromatic spice cinnamon caused hair follicles to sprout in the lab, with researchers now set on developing a novel treatment to reverse hair loss through the use of natural compounds.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Hair, Baldn… Continue reading Hair-loss treatment found in cinnamon
A gel of tiny keratin spheres has been found to promote hair follicle growth. Given that our bodies naturally produce keratin, the research highlights the potential application of using keratin microspheres as a safe and effective hair-growth treatment… Continue reading Hair-loss breakthrough found in keratin microspheres
A new study has identified rare genetic variants associated with male pattern hair loss, including two that haven’t been identified before. In addition to increasing our understanding of the condition, the findings may pave the way for personalized the… Continue reading New rare gene discovery provides further insights into male hair loss
A new study has looked at the molecular mechanisms underlying hair growth and found that aging or senescent cells may be key to promoting hair growth in humans. Their findings potentially open the door to developing new hair loss treatments that harnes… Continue reading Molecular mechanics of aging cells may be key to stimulating hair growth
Researchers have successfully stimulated hair growth in mice using microRNA to genetically manipulate hair follicle stem cells, meaning that balding pate may one day be sporting a mane of luscious locks.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Hair, Bald… Continue reading Molecular manipulation stimulates hair growth in mice
Scientists in China researching advanced treatments for a common form of hair loss have found success through a novel microneedle patch, which was used to regenerate hair in bald mice. The device works by tackling oxidative stress that impacts on folli… Continue reading Microneedle patch digs deep to regenerate hair in bald mice
Scientists studying the way hair follicles take shape in the human body have found new success in the lab, demonstrating a way of growing fully matured forms of them in culture. The breakthrough presents scientists with a novel platform to investigate … Continue reading Hair loss breakthrough sees fully mature follicles grown in the lab
