Press Release Summary: The research published in the February 15 issue of Genes &
Development, reveal that the communication between epithelial cells (found on upper
portion of each hair follicle) and dermal papilla (cells that found in lower portion
of hair follicles) is carried out by signaling molecule, a protein called BMP. It is
said that it is the proteins that maintains all hair growth communication among
these two types of cells.

Atlanta, Georgia, 27/01/2008 - The research published in the February 15 issue of
Genes & Development, reveal that the communication between epithelial cells (found
on upper portion of each hair follicle) and dermal papilla (cells that found in
lower portion of hair follicles) is carried out by signaling molecule, a protein
called BMP. It is said that it is the proteins that maintains all hair growth
communication among these two types of cells.

It is said that the communication instructs the stem cells and dermal papilla to
mature and regenerate hair follicles. After maturation of hair follicles, the
protein signal instructs the growth of hair shaft within hair follicles. For more
information and how it is accomplished and if it is really true, more extensive
studies are needed.

Scientist at the moment do not know whether dermal papilla or stem cells are
programmed to signaling among each other, however, it is certain that a special
protein called BMP does take part in communication between these cells.

For years, it was thought that reduction in communication among these cells by BMP
is necessary for healthy growth of these cells. But now it turns a new theory that
this communication among stem cells and dermal papilla is necessary and crucial for
healthy and normal hair growth cycles.

For further clues about the theory, more extensive research and studies are
required. But as a rule of thumb, eat balanced diet and use quality natural hair
care tonics to regularly nourish your hair follicles.
