Hair will help to treat combustions


hertThe European scientists have found out in human hair stem cells which in case of need can be transformed into a skin. It promises the big prospects in business of treatment of traumas and combustions, and also at baldness therapy.
In hair follicles of the person are found stem cells which can be transformed to three types of cells of a skin successfully.
"They say, that have found out initial stem cells in hair follicles from which it is theoretically possible to make a false skin, a fatty tissue and, actually, follicles, - explains this opening the professor-neurosurgeon, the director of the Center of treatment of diseases of a brain at University of Southern Florida. - these cells in adult hair follicles, in practice, help to make a new skin".

Doctor Sanberg adds, that if the science will be better to understand biology of these cells scientists can develop much more effective methods of treatment of a skin. And, probably, and the newest method of transplantation of hair. Authors of research consider, that their opening can lead to a birth of new ways of treatment of wounds, combustions, and also skin transplantations.
Other experts support this point of view.

"Most likely, this information very much is useful for founders of an artificial skin, - the supervisor of studies of fund The New York Stem Cell Foundation, the professor of Harward Kevin Iggen who is engaged стволовыми in cells and regenerative biology speaks. - nowadays existing dermal grafts, like that do for suffered from combustions, are not too effective. At them not hair a follicle".

Doctor Iggen underlines, that our skin possesses unique ability to treat. People try to understand for a long time already, that is a basis of such regenerative power. Today it is considered one of theories influence of a special kind of stem cells which "live" in a convex part hair a follicle, at the top of a dermal pore.
Other scientists support the point of view that hardly perceptible stem cells can be found out in the basis of a hinge of hair. At last, some scientists consider, that skin cells simply can replicate
