 Why hair turns grey   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The scientists traced the loss of hair color to the gradual dying off of adult stem cells that form a reservoir that spawns a continuous supply of new pigment-manufacturing cells, called melanocytes, that give hair its youthful hues.
Of more interest to the researchers is the pattern of cellular signals that triggers the death of pigment stem cells, since melanoma is dangerous for the opposite reason -melanocytes proliferate uncontrollably to form tumors and are hard to kill with treatment.
A pool of undifferentiated melanocyte stem cells resides in the hair follicle, and during the hair's grow-and-rest cycle, the stem cells give rise to color-making melanocytes that journey to the bottom of the hair follicle: That is where they tint the keratinocytes with the person's characteristic hue.
