A breakthrough has been made in terms of hair growth as scientists from Northwestern University may have found a way to help avoid baldness.
According to the study, first published in the journal PNAS, hair follicles stiffen as people age. This makes it more difficult for hair to grow.
However, the researchers suggest that this process can be avoided if hair follicles are softened as it becomes more likely that hair is produced. The study found a way to help hair growth by softening the stem cells through boosting production of a tiny RND, miR-205 - the particles that relax the hardness of the cells.
The study was carried out on mice, with the scientists genetically manipulating the stem cells in order to make them produce more miR-205. Hair growth recorded in mice young and old.
Senior author of the study and professor of pathology and dermatology at Northwestern's Feinberg School of Medicine in Illinois, Rui Yi, told SciTechDaily: “They started to grow hair in 10 days.
“These are not new stem cells being generated. We are stimulating the existing stem cells to grow hair. A lot of times we still have stem cells, but they may not be able to generate the hair.”
The scientist explained that it is possible to stimulate hair growth by regulating cell mechanics.
“Because of the potential to deliver microRNA by nanoparticles directly into the skin, next we will test whether topically delivered miR-205 can stimulate hair growth first in mice,” he said. “If successful, we will design experiments to test whether this microRNA can promote hair growth potentially in humans", Yi added.
The study was conducted using advanced microscopy tools such as atomic force to measure the stiffness of cells as well as two-photon microcopy to

“The Spectacular” (Dutton, out now). The novel follows Marian, a plucky young dancer in the 1950s, who defies her family’s expectations when she runs away from home to join the Rockettes — right as a mysterious bomber is terrorizing the city, leaving explosives in some of the Big Apple’s most iconic landmarks.Davis interviewed about a dozen Rockettes in the course of her research, but Lachenauer proved to be an invaluable resource, plying her with old programs and photos from her time there, as well as reading a manuscript and providing notes for Davis to make her tale as authentic as possible.“I was really intimidated because I don’t have a dance background,” Davis explains.

Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent “Prince Aden,” a new drama by Italian directing duo Gianluca and Massimiliano De Serio, known internationally for their immigration-themed “Seven Acts of Mercy,” is among projects selected by Locarno’s Alliance for Development initiative. The platform, now in its 8th year, is geared towards fostering co-productions between France, Germany, Italy and Switzerland. Inspired by the book “Partigiani d’Oltremare,” by Italian historian Matteo Petracci, the De Serio twins’ new colonial-era film follows the vicissitudes of a 16-year-old Somali named Aden Sicré who in 1935 becomes a soldier in the Italian army that invaded Ethiopia on Mussolini’s orders. In an unexpected turn, he becomes hailed as a war hero by the Fascist regime.

Ben Croll Disney animation chief creative officer Jennifer Lee capped an Annecy showcase by screening 20 minutes of unfinished footage of the upcoming animated musical “Wish,” which is slated for release this November. Split across two clips from the film’s opening act, the footage introduced feisty heroine Asha (Ariana DeBose) alongside antagonist King Magnifico (Chris Pine), and featured two all-new songs written by Julia Michaels. At first we meet the headstrong teenager as she interviews to serve as sorcerer’s apprentice for the regal Magnifico, a so-called benevolent mage who rules over his Kingdom of Rosas by guarding and granting the many wishes his subjects offer to him in tribute. Only the interview doesn’t quite go as planned after Asha pulls down the glowing crystal orb that holds the wish of her 100-year-old grandfather, begging the sovereign to grant it. No deal — Magnifico, it turns out, claims his regal powers by hoarding.
Naman Ramachandran Director of the National Theatre Rufus Norris has unveiled 12 new productions and has also confirmed that he will step down after 10 years as director in mid-2025 when his current term comes to an end.
