Baldness is known to "scourge" of men. But this is not true, because women who abuse hair dryer and hair dyes are also facing this problem. And now, scientists in Pennsylvania found that hair loss, which leads to hair loss, a significant role played by stem cells. Studies of such direction by Professor Georges Kotsarelis. It was found that in hair follicles located on the head, regardless of the thickness of cover, there is one and the same number of stem cells . Also, experts have found that while the appearance of bald patches in those areas found another type of cell. This is because the name "progenitor cells", whose essence lies in the inhibition of stem cells , rather than reducing their number, as previously thought. Years ago, a group led by the same Kotsarelisa, was able to hold a series of experiments on mice, whose purpose was to determine whether the application will help embryonic stem cells to stimulate hair growth or not. The experimental results were positive. Later, Japanese scientists have been using stem cells extracted from the teeth of mice were able to conduct a similar experiment, which is also a success. The growth rate in this case increased by 60%, the Market Leader .
