If you are balding, worry no more because thelatest research on baldnesshelps humanity to find the cure for hair loss. Since male pattern hair loss is the most prevalent, it is the type that scientists are most concerned with. The latest research basically focuses on the genes that trigger the loss of hair in males. The underlying thinking in the latest research is that the breakthrough will lie in the discovery of how to prevent hair follicles from shrinking and dying so that they may be cloned and transplanted to balding areas. This can only be effective if males can do everything in their power to stop hair loss now so as to preserve as many healthy follicles as possible. Reproduction of Follicles It is vitally important that males halt their hair loss now because if this latest research proves a success, losing active follicles will limit the potential for cloning or reproducing new follicles that can grow hair. What this means is that the less a follicle has shrunk, the more likely it is that future treatments will reproduce new hair follicles from the old one. Now once you lose the follicle's function it becomes of little help. Slow the Deterioration of Follicles The follicle function should be preserved as long as possible by using one of the many hair loss products available. Minoxidil or Finasteride can help. Researchers have found out that adult mammal skin can regenerate hair follicles. Researchers have also found out that wound healing in a mouse model creates dormant molecular pathways are awakened, therefore sending stem cells to the area of injury. It was astonishing that the regenerated hair follicles originated from non-hair follicle stem cells. By introducing more wnt proteins into the wound, the researchers found out that they could use embryonic genes to promote follicle growth thus leading to skin regeneration rather than merely a repair. In addition, they also found out that if the wnt proteins are blocked, this could stop the production of hair follicles the healed skin. In this research, increased wnt signaling doubles the number of new hair follicles. This shows that the embryonic window created by the wound healing process can be used to manipulate hair follicle regeneration, which can lead to novel ways of treating hair loss and hair overgrowth. If this research proves successful, then scientists would have gone beyond finding the cure for male pattern baldness. If researchers can control hair growth, they could also potentially find cures for people with scalp disorders. This includes scarring alopecia where the skin scars and hair overgrowth. As these latest findings show, balding people have every cause to be optimistic that things will be okay in the future. Given that psychologists report that hair loss greatly dents some people's confidence, then such fears would be unfounded. For now, all these have to do is keep any of their remaining hairs that may be of great help once hair products from these findings start hitting the market. For those that have lost all their hair, then the research on hair regeneration may provide a glimmer of hope but don't despair as scientists are continuously working around the clock to find the best solutions.
