A breakthrough has been made in terms of hair growth as scientists from Northwestern University may have found a way to help avoid baldness.
According to the study, first published in the journal PNAS, hair follicles stiffen as people age. This makes it more difficult for hair to grow.
However, the researchers suggest that this process can be avoided if hair follicles are softened as it becomes more likely that hair is produced. The study found a way to help hair growth by softening the stem cells through boosting production of a tiny RND, miR-205 - the particles that relax the hardness of the cells.
