    I'm sure this has already been talked about weeks to months ago. That grey hair thing definitely rings a bell. All welcome news though, another little piece of the puzzle maybe.

    In their research, which was published online this month in Genes & Development, the authors observed that the protein KROX20 turns on in skin cells that develop into the hair shaft, according to a news release. These hair precursor cells then generate the stem cell factor (SCF) protein, which researchers demonstrated is necessary for giving hair its color. In mice, researchers found that when they deleted the SCF gene in hair precursor cells, the rodents’ hair turned white. Similarly, when they deleted KROX20-producing cells, the mice became bald, according to the release.

    THIS is what we've been waiting for!!!! As a medical professional and LONG time hair loss sufferer, THIS IS BIG. I expect we will FINALLY have a cure thanks to this within 3 years, God willing. I knew it was going to happen accidentally. This stuff is just too friggin complicated for people to "figure out" with research. It had to be a "holy shit, look what just happened!". I'm SUPER stoked.

    Here we go again. There will be a few more followup stories, and possibly some indication of researchers conducting more studies. Then we might even see a "in 5 more years" interview.

    Then it will just fizzle away in no man's land like all the rest that we've seen over the past 20 years.

    How one article can disappoint so many people. First, we didn't find a cure for that horrible nerve tumor, but guess what? We stumbled upon a cure for grey hair and hairloss that you'll never ever see.

    I understand your frustration, but at some point you need to accept the fact that they might have finally found a solution. Just have faith.
