To find a possible cure for alopecia, dermatologist and scientists have been on the continuous lookout for possible hair cycle processes that might bring a halt to a progressive hair loss condition. One of the many possibilities that they are looking at is the promotion of thicker hair growth. According to a study conducted at Massachusetts, there is a protein that is responsible for the promotion of thicker hair growth.
DETAILS OF THE STUDY
Earlier scientific studies have shown that most people who have hair loss conditions have fewer blood vessels. However, none of the earlier researches measured exactly how blood vessel growth is linked to thicker hair growth. There is also no study that focused on how blood vessels on the scalp grow.
To determine the direct relation between scalp blood vessels and thicker hair growth, researchers from the Department of dermatology at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) compared two groups of mice – the first group was composed of normal mice, while the other group was comprised of special mice that were genetically predisposed to have high VEGF levels. The VEGF refers to those protein molecules that trigger the growth of blood vessels.
RESULTS OF THE STUDY
At the end of the study, the researchers concluded that the mouse hair follicles
that grew on the VEGF group of mice were significantly bigger that those which grew
on the normal group. The study, which was published on the Journal of Clinical Investigation,
also showed that the total hair volume increased by as much as seventy percent. The
researchers also said that the mice that were VEGF-
In addition to that, the mice from the VEGF group also regrew hair at a faster rate.
According to the researchers, the eight-
They noted that the thicker hair growth was probably caused by the larger blood vessels
that also developed among the VEGF mice. Dr. Detmar also noted that blood vessels
in the skin that surrounded the hair follicles were “40% larger in diameter than
those found in normal mice”. This suggests that VEGF-
