Researchers Identify MicroRNA That Shows Promise for Hair Regrowth – NC State News
Researchers have identified a microRNA that could promote hair regeneration.
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 chemica…
