Peripheral neuropathy is characterized by numbness, tingling, and/or pain, typically in the hands and feet, although these symptoms can occur in other areas of the body. There can be numerous causes of a peripheral neuropathy. Diabetes is perhaps the most common cause, although other causes can include trauma, infections, and nutrient deficiencies. And this is yet another problem which does seem to be more common in people with thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions.
Once transplanted, the stem cells spontaneously grew into hair follicles that produced hair in the mice. Researchers say they also identified a set of genes that are turned on by the stem cells, which may provide new targets for manipulating hair growth.
A: Hair is made up of a protein called keratin and it's simple in structure. The hair follicle holds the hair and keeps it connected to the surface of the skin. The hair bulb forms around the hair follicle. Inside of the hair bulb, the cells divide and build the hair shaft to create the full hair strand. Blood vessels deliver the nutrients that the hair needs in order to grow and structure itself. Hair growth takes place in three forms: anagen, catagen and telogen.
