The millions of hair loss sufferers out there might be intrigued to hear about an exciting new study suggest that a receding hairline might be a good thing. Researchers at the University of Washington School of Medicine say that men who experience significant hair loss by the age of 30 appear less likely to develop prostate cancer. This study, published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, surveyed 2,000 men between the ages of 40 and 47. Half of the study participants had suffered prostate cancer. Men who developed bald spots on their crown, as well as a receding hairline, had a 29% to 45% reduction in the risk of developing prostate cancer. Researchers linked high levels of the male hormone testosterone, found in men who lose their hair earlier, with a lower risk of tumors.
By the age of 30, 25% to 30% of men are thought to experience some level of hair loss. Half of all men experience hair loss by the age of 50. Baldness is commonly attributed to excessive dihydrotestosterone (DHT) exposed to the hair follicles. DHT is produced by the male hormone testosterone. Experts believe that men with high levels of testosterone are more likely to lose their hair, particularly if they a familial predisposition.

Newly Identified Skin Stem Cells Strikingly Similar to Those Found in Embryos

Recent findings show that a new type of stem cell found in the skin acts similarly to certain stem cells found in embryos.  Like embryos, these stem cells can generate fat, bone, cartilage, and even nerve cells. According to HHMI International Research Scholar, Freda Miller, these newly-identified dermal cells may prove useful for treating persistent wounds or even neurological disorder. These cells were first noticed several years ago in rodents and humans but have only now been confirmed as stem cells. These cells are capable of self-renewal and can even grow into cell types that make up the skin’s dermal layer under the right conditions. This is particularly interesting in our industry because the dermal stem cells also appear to help form the basis for hair growth.  This new work was published in its entirety December 4, 2009, in the journal Cell Stem Cells.
