Study Offers Insights Into Male Pattern Baldness
Written by Male Pattern Baldness Writer on July 27th, 2010Researchers are reporting that they’ve linked a gene to a rare condition that makes people develop thin “peach fuzz” hair, potentially paving the way toward greater insight into male-pattern baldness.
The finding won’t immediately lead to a better treatment or cure, said Angela M. Christiano, co-author of the study, published April 15 in the journal Nature . And though it’s “just a tiny little piece of the puzzle,” it could provide perspective about a component of male-pattern baldness known as shrinkage, said Christiano, director of the Center for Human Genetics at Columbia University.
Contrary to popular belief, male-pattern baldness doesn’t cause hair to stop growing. Instead, hair still grows but it’s short and fine, like peach fuzz, Christiano said.
