क्या भविष्य में बालों के झड़ने के खिलाफ ‘हेयर वैक्सीन’ संभव है? Posted by Niilesh Waghela मुंबई: क्या भविष्य में बालों के झड़ने का इलाज केवल बालों की वृद्धि बढ़ाने तक सीमित न रहकर, हेयर फॉलिकल के आसपास के जैविक और प्रतिरक्षा वातावरण को बदलने पर आधारित हो सकता है? हाल ही में European Journal of Pharmacology में प्रकाशित एक वैज्ञानिक समीक्षा ने इसी संभावित दिशा की पड़ताल की है। इस अवधारणा को लोकप्रिय रूप से “हेयर वैक्सीन” कहा जा रहा है, हालांकि विशेषज्ञ स्पष्ट करते हैं कि फिलहाल बालों के झड़ने के लिए कोई क्लिनिकली वैलिडेटेड वैक्सीन उपलब्ध नहीं है। शोध-पत्र का शीर्षक “Hair vaccine: Myth or future therapeutic reality? Immunopharmacological perspectives on immune-regenerative strategies for hair loss” है। इसके लेखक Dr. Debraj Shome, Dr. Mamata Mishra, Dr. Rinky Kapoor, Dr. Khushbu Kumari और Dr. Raji Patil हैं। शोध में हेयर फॉलिकल इम्यून प्रिविलेज को महत्वपूर्ण माना गया है। स्वस्थ हेयर फॉलिकल के आसपास मौजूद यह सुरक्षात्मक वातावरण उसे अनुचित प्रतिरक्षा हमले से बचाने में मदद करता है। Alopecia ...
