Hair Restoration through Stem Cell Therapy !

Baldness is a common problem mostly found in men for centuries. Hair loss is caused due to several factors such as hormonal imbalance, oily scalp, hereditary, improper diet and too much of stress. Hair loss in men can develop into bald patches. Clinicspots is a premier online medical facilitator that provides high quality service and gives information regarding cost of hair transplant in Pune or you can consult a doctor online anytime for any medical emergency.

Scientists have come up with new technological methods to grow hair. According to the laboratory research, human skin cells are injected onto mice. They have converted these stem cells into epithelial stem cells that help in building different types of cells that makes up various layers of skin.

Baldness:-

· Hair follicles also contain stem cell and many researchers have predicted that this technique may lead to success in treating baldness.

· This method is expected to work by already existing stem cell in the scalp.

· this technique should simply signal follicle stem cells to give chemical signals to the surrounding follicle cells which have shrunken during ageing process

· These signals will respond by generating healthy hair. Recently many doctors have claimed that stem cell technique may lead to significant and visible improvement in follicular hair growth.

Why stem cell?

· Stem cells are known as tiny progenitor cells that are found in our body that may divide and change it into various cell types.

· All cells in our body keep on constantly multiplying in order to form a new cell

· Stem cells in our body are naturally healing cells which acts and repair system in our body and restore the adult tissues. They are the source of all the cells that are dead.

Types:-

1. Embryonic stem cells:- these cells are isolated from inner cell mass of blast cyst

2. Non- embryonic or adult stem cells:- it is also referred as mesenchymal stem cells i.e. found in various tissues. There are three accessible sources of antilogous adult stem cells in humans:

1. Bone marrow- it requires extraction by drilling into the bone.

2. Blood- that requires extraction through pheresis, whereas, blood is taken from the donor,    that is passed through a machine which extracts the stem cells and leave back other portion of blood to the donor.

3. Fat cells:- it requires extraction by liposuction.

Stems are also extracted from umbilical cord just after the birth.Out of all these cell types, autologus harvesting (that are obtained from person’s body) from the fat cells involves minimum risk. Fat cell is one of the highest sources of non embryonic stem cells.

What does the technique involve?

·The specialist grow skin stem cells from matured human skin sample and conduct numerous experiments in laboratory just to ensure whether they could grow new hair or skin cells.

· Experiment is done on animal to know whether anything can grow and then it is compared with human sample.

Conclusion:-

·         Researchers have developed a new method of growing human stem cell from their own skin sample.

·         This technique will be encouraging and useful to other researchers in the field of hair transplantation.
