American scientists have found out why hair turns grey. Specialists from the Medical Center at the University of New York have found that a special protein Wnt is responsible for the pigment state of hair and provides control over all biological processes.
Now women around the world are rejoicing – doctors know the exact reasons why hair gets grey. A research report from Langone Medical Center details the entire mechanism of this process and is published in the journal Cell.
Modifications of the discovered protein in the future will make it possible to avoid such a terrible natural process for women as graying.
With the help of a new study, you can now forget about problems with gray hair. The body can be supplemented with the missing amount of active protein using a special vaccine. Naturally, at first such vaccines will be available only to wealthy residents of the planet.
