Research Abstract |
Since hair graying is a typical sign of aging, hair graying could be an excellent target to select anti-aging foods. However, decades are needed to analyze the dynamics of hair graying with aging in humans. Therefore, model mice that mimic the mechanism of hair graying in humans could be strong tools to develop anti-aging foods. In this study, we found a drug effective for hair graying using hair-graying model mice. Further studies are needed to clarify the similarities of hair graying mechanisms between the model mice and human to apply the anti-aging foods to human.
