Scientists Find Possible Hair Loss Gene
Tagged: breaking news, hair loss cure, hair loss geneNewsflash! There have been reports all over the Internet saying that a hair loss gene has been discovered. This discovery may in fact lead to a cure to hair loss!
According to reports, it has been revealed that the Sox21 gene in mice has a part to play in hair loss in mice. Researchers blocked the activity of the Sox21 gene in mice and discovered that the mice started losing hair around 2 weeks after birth. Within a week, they had lost all their hair.
According to Professor Yumiko Saga at the National Institute of Genetics in Tokyo, “It is entirely possible that the gene is also a cause of thinning hair among humans”.
However a lot more research needs to be before a connection can be scientifically established and even more needs to be done to find a cure for hair loss.
