Balding and graying hair – mechanism and cause discussed in video
This is an interesting post I saw on Reddit worth sharing with you. It was published on Aug 17, 2017.
Balding and hair graying are two conditions that causes distress among patients. A new medical research was finally able to find the mechanism of grey hair and balding. The research discovered two proteins, KROX20 and SCF, that are the major key factors for hair growth and hair pigmentation. The absence or deficiencies of those proteins will cause hair to fall and graying. We can expect a cure in the form of a topical application in the near future.
We can expect a cure in the form of a topical application in the near future???? Are you confident of that? A cure for both balding and gray hair in the near future sounds like something you’d make a bigger deal about. How optimistic should we be, in your estimation?
(P.S. Any thoughts on how long we may have to wait for this treatment?)
I am fairly pessimistic about a cure for balding in any form in the next 5 years or so.
