Researchers from North Carolina State University have identified a microRNA (miRNA) that could promote hair regeneration. This miRNA — miR-218-5p — plays an important role in regulating the pathway involved in follicle regeneration, and could be a candidate for future drug development.Hair growth depends on the health of dermal papillae (DP) cells, which regulate the hair follicle growth cycle. Current treatments for hair loss can be costly and ineffective, ranging from invasive surgery to che…
