 View Video | Scientists find root of male baldness Description: Scientists have identified a protein leading to baldness in men. After analysing the scalps of bald men, the scientists found that the levels of the PGD2 protein were three times higher in the balding areas of the head. Scientists are now faced with the challenging of limiting or blocking the inhibiting effects of the protein. Al Jazeera's Simon McGregor Wood reports. Rating: 4.822222/5 Length: 119 Seconds |

 View Video | New Study Shows Possible Cure for Baldness Description: BY LOGAN TITTLE Scientists are closer to answering one of man's hairiest questions—or really, not so hairy. NBC's Brian Williams explains— "Now scientists are reporting a big clue and a potential step forward in studies of bald men and laboratory mice. They have pinpointed a protein that triggers hair loss." Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania conducted a study on the scalps of both balding mice and men and found a protein called Prostaglandin D—or PGD2. The levels of this protein were three times higher in balding areas than in areas with more hair. VO: "As the amount of protein builds up around the hair follicle, it starts to shrink." SCIENTIST: "So those big long hairs that you have become smaller and smaller and eventually become microscopic and you can't see them." (video source: AlJazeera) So the good news is—there's still hair on your head. The bad news is it's just really, really hard to see. But the researchers say they have a plan that will have you saying "hair-llelujah!" In the study, scientists found a receptor--called GPR44 through which PGD2 stops hair growth. Senior author of thestudy told the Globe and Mail --"'We think if we are able to remove the inhibitory effects of prostaglandin D2 we would be able to allow the hair to grow'...He noted that there are already several experimental drugs that block the GPR44 receptor..." ABC News points out this isn't the first attempt at saving scalps—but it is the first to test on men's heads which means ... Rating: /5 Length: 118 Seconds |

 View Video | Cure For Baldness? Stem Cells Help Grow Hair on Hairless Mice Description: Watch out, Rogaine! Heads Up, Hair Club For Men! (I don't understand this sentence/what should be capitalized and what shouldn't) An article in Nature this week reports that Tokyo University of Science researchers have used stem-cell therapy to grow hair, or at least a scruffy patch of the stuff, on the back of a hairless mouse. Scientists created a seed of hair by combining the two basic cells found in the skin of a normal mouse and then inserted the seed into the skin of the follicley-challenged rodent. Sure enough, a patch of hair grew, shed, and regrew, just like normal hair. The area could even get goose bumps. But don't toss out your toupee quite yet. Stem-cell therapy isn't quite ready to give Andre Agassi his mane back. It is currently untested on humans and, being an extremely esoteric treatment, would only be affordable by Daddy Warbucks. Or Donald Trump. Rating: 4.3333335/5 Length: 64 Seconds |
