Makrofagi

[Rafal]

According to Dr Mirna Perez-Moreno, who made the find at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre in Madrid, the macrophages activated nearby stem cells which are responsible for hair growth.

 

That means follicles could be encouraged to grow without the need for a hair transplant, which can cost upwards of £5,000.

 

She and the study's other authors wrote in the journal PLOS Biology: 'One of the current challenges in the stem cell field is... to promote regeneration without the need of transplantation.

 

'Because of this study, it is now known that macrophages play a key role in the environment surrounding stem cells.

 

'Our study underlines the importance of macrophages as modulators in skin regenerative processes, going beyond their primary function as phagocytic immune cells.'

Przyznam, że brzmi to co najmniej obiecująco.

Makrofagi można aktywować poprzez beta glukan, który można bez problemu kupić w formie kapsułek, czy nawet kremu. Czy Waszym zdaniem takie aktywowanie makrofagów może jednak w jakikolwiek sposób pomóc w kontekście wypadania włosów?
