The International Union of scientists and geneticists of Japan, the US and the Netherlands found the true cause of balding men. It’s all about the extinction of stem cells. The study is published Science magazine.

Genetics experimented on mice, which are capable of renewal of hair at any age. To do this, scientists had artificially aged rodents.

In the end, after 18 months of laboratory work and experiments of genetics we came to the conclusion that the reduction of stem cells that are affected by artificial aging, affects the amount of hair and hair thickness.

According to scientists, the hair becomes less due to the fact that DNA damage accumulates, and this eventually results in a degenerative changes of hair. Geneticists have found factors (in particular, COL17A1 gene) activity that affects the hair loss
