First it was curing cancer, now Israelis say they might cure baldness in black women

Jpost-

Head of the Department of Dermatology at Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, Professor Eli Sprecher led an international group of scientists for seven years on a study that sought to discover why baldness is fairly common among black women. The team succeeded in identifying the gene responsible.

Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia [CCCA], which causes loss of hair, was thought to be the result of aggressive hair manipulation – yet now a genetic cause was found as well – leading to the potential development of a possible cure.

The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, found that a malfunction in protein PADI3 causes CCCA.

Sprecher warned in an interview with Maariv on Thursday that extensive pulling of the hair and attempts to straighten it may be related to hair loss for those who carry the genetic defect.

“Finding the genetic defect that causes CCCA might bring us closer to finding a cure,” he said.

  1. Who in their right mind willingly goes to Chuck E Sleaze? I haven’t been there since my kids were little back in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Tony’s cardboard pizza from the grocery store is better than their lousy pizza. It was a trap for guilty parents to take their spoiled kids to so they supposedly could have fun. And Dave and Buster’s is just Chuck E Sleaze for millennials from what I’ve seen on their commercials.

  2. How dare they suggest that any behavior on the part of black women contributed in any way to their baldness! And then to suggest that there are genetic components makes it worse. The reason black women suffer from baldness is because systemic racism and white oppression. There can be no other reason or cause.

  3. Wig hats and weaves are most black woman’s addiction. Don’t think for one minute a God given miracle is going to stop them from culturally appropriating whites. Hypocrisy is a force they can’t resist.

  4. Dear Israel: It doesn’t matter what you do, the blacks in America will always hate the Jews. I’ve never understood the passion my Jewish friends show towards the blacks in America given the um-abashed hatred from their “allies”. But I guess it’s as my grandfather used to say: “The Jewish folks in the US work like Presbyterians, but vote like Puerto Ricans”.
