This week, scientists from the University of California, San Francisco revealed a groundbreaking discovery linking proteins involved in bone density to hair growth. For years, researchers have been puzzled as to why and how hair grows, yet this study has provided key insight to this mystery. The research team experimented on mice and found that when a protein known as sclerostin was blocked, mice experienced increased hair growth due to increased bone density. This suggests that sclerostin is a major factor in hair growth. The findings of this study could potentially lead to new treatments for hair loss in humans.
