【Epoch Times, August 22, 2012 Reuters (Epoch Times reporter Guo Jingkang compile reports) dermatological academia have been major breakthroughs: Scientists have discovered a protein cause baldness. University of Pennsylvania dermatology expert Xhosa Dr. Rees (George Cotsarelis) and his team found that an enzyme called prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), this enzyme prevents the growth of hair follicles, causing hair loss. Blockers of this enzyme will be able to promote hair re-growth.
Dr. Cossa, Ries is currently negotiating with a number of pharmaceutical companies production of germinal drug, and is expected blockers in the market within two years. Actually are readily available, this blocker medicine market, but they are used to treat asthma and allergies, only need to change the dosage form, to become a lotion or emulsion can be used to treat hair loss.
It has long been recognized that the link between genetics and bald, just has not found a specific reason. The research team analyzed the bald man's scalp, thinning hair at the scalp PDG2 standards normal hair at PDG2, 3 times. Found the bald man's scalp thin hair cells can produce the early work of the team, except that they can not develop into normal hair, so they considered the PGD2 hinder the germinal cell maturation, leading to baldness, if the block PGD2 , you can make the hair from the new growth.
Laboratory tests have shown that such blockers can also help hair loss in women. Female hair loss even harder than men, but it is not uncommon. Approximately 40% of women in the menopausal hormone level significantly change when hair loss. The proportion of male hair loss than women, half of the 50-year-old male there are varying degrees of alopecia, the proportion of 70-year-old hair loss rises to about 70%.
The vast majority of people want to own a beautiful hair. If you develop a this germinal medicine, will bring huge changes to the germinal drug market. Alone in the UK alone, 7.4 million bald and becoming bald people upset because they can not get the hair growth drug. Of course, hair transplantation is also an option, but the price is expensive, and the effect is not stable. Otherwise two ways to promote hair growth drug, but the side effects are too great.
They do experiments with mice, found that the PGD2 really prevents hair growth. This conclusion has been published in March of this year, "science into medicine" magazine.
