In my talk at the stem cell indaba in cape town last year, I boldly described how platelet rich plasma (PRP) may be beneficial to wound healing and tissue regeneration to a highly sceptical and overtly critical audience of A grade scientist and professors from all over Africa.
Less than a year later, the entire world is abuzz with the innumerable benefits that PRP may confer on a variety of medical conditions, the latest of which is Alopecia.
Today, physicians and scientists all over the world are demonstrating that platelet rich plasma may actually wake up dormant follicular stem cells and could quite potentially become the next major breakthrough in treating hair loss and growing hair.

Even if you avoid midday sun and wear protective clothing, sunscreen is necessary all year round all day even when you do sit in an office to keep you safe from the harmful effects of UV rays.
To select the right product that is the most effective for your skin I need you to know that sunscreens should be water resistant even if you do not plan to swim – this ensures that you won't perspire if off.
Sunscreen should also be applied liberally and often regardless of their SPF. Keep in mind that the use of sunscreens is probably one of the few times when too much of a good thing is a good thing.

N−3 fatty acids (popularly referred to as ω−3 fatty acids or omega-3 fatty acids) are essential unsaturated fatty acids.
Essential fatty acids are molecules that cannot be synthesized by the human body but are vital for normal metabolism. One of the two families of these essential fatty acids is the omega-3 fatty acids.
Nutritionally important n−3 fatty acids include α-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), all of which are polyunsaturated.
Common sources of n–3 fatty acids include fish oils and some plant oils such as flaxseed oil and algal oil.
Mammals cannot synthesize n−3 fatty acids, but have a limited ability to form the "long-chain" n−3 fatty acids EPA (20-carbon atoms) and DHA (22-carbon atoms) from the "short-chain" eighteen-carbon n−3 fatty acid ALA. N−3 and n−6 eighteen-carbon polyunsaturated fatty acids compete for the same metabolic enzymes, thus the n−6:n−3 ratio will significantly influence the ratio of the ensuing eicosanoids (hormones), and ...
