A study published in the journal Nature reveals that a certain type of stem cell gets 'stuck' in our hair follicles — potentially causing gray hair and leading to a loss of hair color.
The secret about why hair goes gray may lie in a certain type of "It is the loss of chameleon-like function in melanocyte stem cells that may be responsible for graying and loss of hair color," said senior author Mayumi Ito, PhD, professor in the Ronald O.
The melanocyte stem cells in our hair follicles are a specific stem cell that produce and maintain the pigment in our hair. The other type of stem cell is known as adult stem cells, which are a type of organ or tissue cell that has the potential to differentiate into a more specialized cell type.The melanocyte stem cells in our hair follicles are a specific stem cell that produce and maintain the pigment in our hair.
"The study is built upon previous studies showing that maintaining healthy melanocyte stem cells is the key to preserving hair color," the senior author of the new study told Fox News Digital.
