Scientists from the United States and Japan have discovered the cause of gray hair formation and hair loss in the elderly. The reason for this is the disruption of hair follicle stem cells.
Experts say that because of this, small bodies cannot turn into pigment cells and return to their original state.
“We have taken a big step towards understanding the mechanisms of how melanocyte pigment cells form hair color,” the researchers say.
Scientists have been able to figure out that hair follicle cells simply get stuck in one of the intermediate states and don’t die, as was once thought. They say there is a possibility of creating ways to restore stem cells to normal function and the potential to return a person’s hair color or even prevent graying altogether. This was reported by Channel Five.
Earlier, it became known, cardiologist Anna Panova says that blood flow works in such a way that blood is directed from the heart to the legs and back. Leg pain can indicate heart problems.
