Proteins Discovered that Renew Skin and Hair
Tuesday September 29, 2009
In a new study published in Nature Genetics researchers have found 2 proteins that enable skin cells to renew themselves.
The skin has stem cells that produce cells that eventually become part of the skin itself or the hair on the skin. It is by this process that the skin can repair itself after a cut or infection. These stem cells can also make new stem cells in a complicated sequence of turning on and off proteins. In this latest discovery, two key proteins in this sequence have been identified. And these proteins are not just in human skin cells. A similar process goes on in worms.
The discovery of these proteins potentially opens up more possibilities for regenerating skin for burn victims and others, but also for growing hair. Learn more about skin anatomy and, specifically, the epidermis.

Your articles are informative and contain useful information and I enjoy reading them; however, 95% of every page is filled with ads. I believe your readers would appreciate suggestions as to your opinon of the top 3 to 5 products that are applicable/preferred to the article,instead of spamming us to death with ads that, if we are interested, we have to wade through, one by one, many of which are ridiculous claims for products that don’t work. Give us a break. I appreciate the information and realize that you have to support your website, but enough is enough. I have cancelled many sites like this because they fill up my mailbox with junk and don’t really give me the information needed to make decisions about products or services.
I totally agree with Ms.Reynolds’ comment. After drilling down to all of your links, you have yet defined what the 2 restoring proteins are!!! So in essence, this information is useless. I subscribed to this news letter to be better informed. As a consumer, I’m already inundated with informational with products that don’t work! And it’s disheartenning to be bombarded with the same. Please just give us the facts. Thank you
