Hair loss is something that bothers millions of people. So far, many scientists have done loads of research and come up with various drugs and creams that were supposed to act, but the practice has shown, however, that badness is still here.

According to the newest researches from the University of Pennsylvania’s scientists, there is a new method which can be used for this situation that is afflicting many people over the planet.

It’s about a method which regenerates the dying hair follicles.

Starting with fibroblasts- a humans skin sells, and than adding 3 genes, the professor Xu-professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and Dermatology at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, and his team, converted these sells into an induced pluripotent stem sell, and then converted them in epithelial stem sells which can be found in the bulge of the human hair follicles.

By carefully controlling the time of the grown factors which the cells received, the team forced the induced pluriopotent stem sells in just 18 days to generate a huge number of epithelial stem sells.  After comparing the human gene patterns with the epithelial stem sells produced from the human hail follicles, is was proven that Xu and his team reached their goal.

This research was still conducted on laboratory mice, where when they were replanted cells, they began to produce functional human epidermis and follicles similar to those of human hair.

However, this method is still not ready for use on people. This is because a hair follicle consist epithelial cells as well as dermal papillae-a specific kind of adult stem cell. This team of scientists mixed mouse dermal cells and pluriopotent stems cells, derived epithelial stem cells, to generate hair follicles in order to achieve the follicles growth. Even if they solved the major problem, there is still more work for them in order to figure out how to make fresh dermal papillae cells and finally solve the badness problem.
