Hair loss is a common experience for many people as they grow older. Whether it is thinning hair or going bald, this can make people feel less confident about their appearance. Recently, a team of researchers at National Taiwan University discovered a method that might promote hair regrowth. They found that skin injury leads the fat cells beneath the skin to release fatty acids, which can stimulate hair follicles to regrow. Based on this discovery, the team developed a possible new treatment. It works by applying a natural substance that contains certain fatty acids to areas affected by hair loss.
隨著年齡增長，落髮是許多人都會遇到的常見經歷。無論是頭髮稀疏還是變成禿頭，都會使人們對自身外表感到較不自信。最近，臺灣大學的研究團隊發現了一種可能促進頭髮再生的方法。他們發現皮膚損傷會導致皮下脂肪細胞釋放脂肪酸，這可以刺激毛囊再生。基於這項發現，該團隊研發了一種可能的新療法。其原理是將一種含有特定脂肪酸的天然物質塗抹於受到落髮影響的區域。
