Human hair greying is linked to a specific depletion of hair follicle melanocytes affecting both the bulb and the outer root sheath

1 Mar 2004

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Although hair greying is a very common phenomenon characterized by loss of pigment in the hair shaft, the events that cause and control natural hair whitening with age in humans are still unclear. OBJECTIVES: To decipher the origin of natural hair whitening. METHODS: Human hair melanocytes were immunohistochemically characterized at different stages of whitening. RESULTS: Loss of hair shaft melanin...
