New evidence of baldness cause uncovered Washington a a Florida Riccari her said Friday thai baldness is caused by a biochemical change in cells thai slops hair growth but it will be five to 10 years before a possible cure is ready for Lessing. Or. Marty e. Sawaya a researcher at the University of Miami school of medi Cine said she and colleagues have deter mined thai hair follicles that cease grow ing hair have a High ratio of a smile Mot cult protein that is Able 10 carry the male hormone testosterone into the cell nucleus and Short circuit hair growth. Sawaya Loid a news conference at a meeting of the society for investigative dermatology that the discovery was made after she was Able to separate out cells from Scalp plugs from men at differ ent stages of hair loss. The physician said cells vigorously growing hair contain a High ratio of protein she called a to Lramer which has four molecules closely bound together. Hut in Scalp cells growing hair weakly or not at All she said the to Kramer ratio is very Low and a Type of protein she called a Monomer or a single molecule of protein was dominant. Sawaya said it appears the Monomer is Able to penetrate the nucleus of the hair cell and affect the genetic pattern of the cell that directs the growth of hair.  however is unable to enter the cell nucleus. Also she said the Monomer is four limes More Able to bind with test Oslo Rone than is the Leiamer. In other studies a Miami research team was Able to isolate an inhibitor pro Tein thai tends to Block binding of the male hormone and inc Monomer Sawaya said. This binding ii thought to be an important step in the process that leads to a halt in hair growth. Sawaya said she now is attempting to purify and eventually synthesize this inhibitor protein. This protein possibly could be administered to men who arc starting 10 go Bald and thereby Flop the process she  would Hope we could have some thing like that in the next five to 10 years she said. There la be nothing any sooner than  Sawaya said her research group has found a Way to change the protein ratios in the cells and that this technology might eventually be applied to assist in the permanent removal of unwanted hair such As on the face of a woman.
