A recent study conducted by researchers from NYU Grossman School of Medicine has found a link between aging and the graying of hair. The study focused on melanocyte stem cells (McSCs), which play a crucial role in hair color maintenance. The research revealed that as people age, increasing numbers of McSCs become trapped in a specific compartment of the hair follicle called the bulge. These cells fail to mature and do not travel back to their original location, resulting in a loss of pigment production. The findings provide new insights into the mechanisms behind graying hair and offer potential avenues for reversing or preventing this process.

DNA Movable-Type Storage: A Sustainable Digital Data-Storage Technology
A rapid HPLC-UV method was developed to simultaneously detect five fungicides (THR, EPO, HEX, TEB, and DIE) in various matrices. Peak shape and resolution were optimized through mobile phase composition, pH, buffer concentration, and column temperature. Method validation included linearity, sensitivity, precision, and accuracy. Forced degradation studies confirmed specificity and stability, while DNA interaction and […]
