Male pattern baldness is often associated with decreased testosterone. In the latest study, revealed that the main cause of baldness is a disruption in the function of stem cells that make new hair.
The team of researchers from the American Journal of Clinical Investigation said the new hair is produced is very small to not be seen by the naked eye. As a result, the scalp will be visible point of baldness or resignation of the hairline.
Although the bald area has the same number of stem cells with the no bald scalp, the mature cell forms only a little. These cells are called progenitor cells. This means that hair follicles in the bald area is hidden. The newly grown hair was just visible under the microscope so small.
"This indicates a problem with the activation of stem cells to transform progenitor cells in a bald scalp. The fact that the number of stem cells normally give her hope that the cells can be activated so that hair can grow," says Cotsarelis Dr.George.
He and his team now plans to create a hair cream that can be used to encourage stem cells to grow normal hair. We wait for further discoveries.
