Overactive Immune Response May Cause Sudden Hair Graying, Mouse Study Suggests.

Reuters (5/3, Boggs) reports researchers found in mice that "an overactive immune response, which can occur with viral infections, could result in sudden hair graying." The findings were published in PLoS Biology.

        HealthDay (5/3, Preidt) reports William Pavan, the chief of genetic disease research at the National Human Genome Research Institute, said, "This new discovery suggests that genes that control pigment in hair and skin also work to control the innate immune system. These results may enhance our understanding of hair graying." Pavan also said that the study's results may "help us understand pigmentation diseases with innate immune system involvement, like vitiligo
