Researchers Now Understand How The Protein, TGF-beta, Controls The Process Of Division Or Death Of Hair Cells, Eventually Causing Baldness. Too Much Of TGF-beta Would Kill Hair Cells And Vice Versa. A More Precise Understanding Of How TGF-beta Activates Cell Division Could Help Activate Follicle Stem Cells And Stimulate Hair Growth.
The End of Baldness? The Chemical Controlling Life and Death in Hair Follicles Identified – Neuroscience NewsResearchers discovered how the TGF-beta protein controls the process by which hair follicles, including stem cells, divide and form new cells or orchestrate apoptosis. The findings could provide new treatment options for baldness and therapies to speed up wound healing.
