Baldness is one of the typical male problems that are often associated with reduced hormone testosterone. In a recent study revealed that the main cause of baldness in men is a disturbance in the function of stem cells that can create new hair.

The team of American researchers in the Journal of Clinical Investigation said that the new hair is produced is very small to not be visible to the naked eye. Therefore, on the scalp will be visible point of baldness or hair-line retreat.

Although the bald area has the same number of stem cells with no bald scalp, but it has the form of fewer mature cells. These cells called progenitor cells, which mean that hair follicles in the bald area were hidden. New hair will grow can be seen through a microscope.

This indicates there is a problem in stem cell activity to alter progenitor cells in a bald scalp. The fact that there is indicates that the number of normal stem cells can give hope that these cells can be activated so that hair can grow back.
