Missing Sox Can Cause Hair Loss

Well your male-pattern hair loss may be caused by missing socks. Sox21 genes to be precise. That's the news from the National Academy of Sciences this week.

"Between day 20 and day 25, these mice eventually lost all of their body hair, including the whiskers. Intriguingly, new hair regrowth was initiated a few days later but was followed by renewed hair loss."

Rough time for mice... the 20s. Beyond day 30 can be even more traumatic for the balding mice, who rarely get hired in their less-cute no-fur alien skin.
