Scientists discovered how to soften hair follicle stem cells to enable them to grow hair again. These cells stiffen with age and produce less hair. In a study in mice, the investigators report that ...
Gray hair often feels like a simple sign of passing time. It is easy to see it as a cosmetic change and nothing more. Yet new ...
Dermatologists are one step closer to understanding what causes gray hair — and potentially one day being able to reverse it. Stem cells that live in the hair follicle, called melanocyte stem cells ...
Stem cells release signaling molecules and growth factors that stimulate follicle activity, enhance blood circulation, and ...
The secret about why hair goes gray may lie in a certain type of stem cell that gets "stuck" in our hair follicles, according to a new study. "It is the loss of chameleon-like function in melanocyte ...
Folks develop gray hair as they age because color-producing stem cells become "stuck" and disabled in the hair follicle, new animal research contends. Hair color is controlled by melanocyte stem cells ...
Our gray hair and the risk of skin cancer might share a common cellular origin. Recent research illuminates the mechanisms ...
Rockefeller scientists uncovered how hair follicle stem cells can switch from growing hair to repairing skin when nutrients ...
Researchers have developed a new drug that regrows hair by reactivating dormant hair follicle cells. The approach is different than current treatments, which only slow down hair loss. It reactivates ...
Scientists at Taiwan University have discovered a potential baldness cure using fat cell serum that could regrow hair in just ...
The skin has two types of adult stem cells: epidermal and hair follicle. Their jobs seem well-defined: maintaining the skin, or maintaining hair growth. But as research from Rockefeller University has ...
Billions of our cells die every day to make way for the growth of new ones. Most of these goners are cleaned up by phagocytes - mobile immune cells that migrate where needed to engulf problematic ...
