And this is yet another problem which does seem to be more common in people with thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions.
Once transplanted, the stem cells spontaneously grew into hair follicles that produced hair in the mice. Researchers say they also identified a set of genes that are turned on by the stem cells, which may provide new targets for manipulating hair growth.
There are two types of cochlea hair cells, outside hair cells and inside hair cells. They both assist in the process of relaying sound to the brain. These cells are found in a small area in the cochlea called the organ of Corti. Anywhere from 17,500-23,500 hair cells can be found in the human ear.
