Researchers have been successful in identifying the “novel cyclic signaling in the dermis” which helps in coordinating the stem cell activities and in regulating the regeneration of numerous hairs. Scientists at the ‘University of Southern California’ conducted this research on animal models and could trace out the “signaling switch” that involves ‘bone morphogenetic protein pathway’.
According to the findings of this study that published in the January 17th issue of the journal “Nature”, this research has far reaching implications in understanding the activities of the stem cell’s regulation process during the regeneration.
Dr. Cheng Ming Chuong, the Principal Investigator said,”The research presents a new dimension for the regulation of hair re-growth and ultimately organ regeneration“.
