Turning Gray: Stuck Stem Cells Turn Hair Gray - Neuroscience News
A new study sheds light on why we tend to go gray as we age. Researchers found melanocyte stem cells get stuck as we grow older, losing the ability to grow and maintain natural hair color. The team's next move is to investigate a means of restoring the motility of melanocyte stem cells or physically moving them back to their germ compartment in order to naturally restore hair color.
