Problem of hair loss solve
■ Japanese researchers have developed shafts that can prevent hair loss, promising a cure for baldness.
■ In this regard, Japanese researchers say that they have successfully produced hair shafts in the laboratory. They say this could open the way to treating hair loss in people.
■ According to the report of the foreign news agency, this group, including Professor Fukuda Junji of Yokohama National University, has published their findings in the American journal Science Advances.
■ The researchers say they extracted two types of cells from the skin of a mouse fetus and then used proteins to connect them.
■ After 10 days of hair shafts and glands beginning to appear, the researchers transplanted shafts about 5 millimeters long into the skin of hairless mice, they say. He says that normal hair growth started in about three weeks.
■ The Japanese scientists added that this is the first time that hair shaft growth with follicles in the laboratory has been achieved with nearly 100% efficiency.
