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.
Hair follicles are small sacs lined with skin cells. Oil glands emit sebum into these sacs, which serves to protect and lubricate hair. Cells enter the sac and get packed together and pushed out resulting in hair. The hair shaft (the part of hair that you see) is made up of keratin, a form of dead protein. To strengthen hair follicles, you must adopt a healthy diet because hair is derived from your cells and its health is dependent on your health--healthy hair is strong hair.
