UK Researches May Have Found a “Hairless” Gene
Researchers in the UK may have found a gene that will help scientists to better understand hair loss in human beings in the near future. At this point, scientists are still unsure of the exact resons why men and women lose their hair. The discovery of a gene that helps to repress a protein linked to hair loss may prove to be a major breakthrough in the years to come. In a nutshell, the gene represses the production of a protein called, wise. Wise may cause hair follicles to stop producing new hair once old hair is shed. This is a disruption in the normal hair growth process which includes growth, regression and rest phases.
