The latest research shows that health is not a useless white hair --- can reduce your risk of cancer!
According to "Daily Post" recently reported that Japan's Kanazawa University, researchers found that hair follicles and human DNA, will be subject to "external pressure" damage. When the pressure is too large, to differentiate into hair follicle melanocyte stem cells will die, lose their hair black, bright style.
Led the study, Professor Kiyohiko Nishimura, said: "The DNA within the cell are subject to external conditions continue to attack and destruction, such as mutations induced by chemicals, ultraviolet light and radiation. Mammalian body's individual cells encounter every day at around 10 million incidents of DNA damage. If the stem cell division process of genetic damage, pigment manufacturing functions will be affected, leading to the generation of white hair. "
However, another member of the study, the skin department at Harvard University, director of David? Fisher pointed out that the formation of white hair is the body of a self-protection mechanism. Changbai hair stem cells that produce melanin genes that have been destroyed, and was cleared. If these stem cells have been destroyed has not been cleared, they would be mad to copy to the formation of cancer cells. In other words, the same pressure, the hair white people are even more difficult to cancer. Professor Dai Wei also said that the conclusions of this study is not limited to this, other features of the stem cells of the "death" or "premature differentiation" may be in helping the body resist cancer. Kiyohiko Nishimura, a professor, said the study challenged the previous "cell suicide" theory, "our organs all the time trying to get rid of gene mutations in cell groups." She said.
