Dear All Readers, this post may be something new to many of you! (including I who have done lots of research on hair loss and have been doling out my experience and advice here on this blog).Today "The Straits Times" featured an article which mentioned the hair loss experiments scientists have carried out on mouse. They discovered that mouses who are 'stripped off' of a gene called SOX21 in their bodies, will start to lose their hair real fast (see picture). They have hence established an inextricable link between deficiency of SOX21 gene with hair loss in mouse. Similarly, they have also discovered that balding human shared a deficiency in the SOX21 gene too!
Well, this blog post may be one of the most promising post so far in this blog to many of you! Soon we may be having SOX21 gene transplant to cure our hair loss woes. However, the same article reported that the study is still in its infancy stage, many years of further research will be needed before a hair loss drug linked with SOX21 may be developed.
So if you are young and balding, you may be able to establish your hair in your lifetime should the SOX21 pill becomes reality!
