New Medical Study Uncovers Predisposition for Stretch Marks in Men...

April 29 2005 Collaborating researchers from biotechnology company Human Matrix Sciences LLC in California and The Hospital for Sick Children in Canada recently discovered a method for predicting if individuals will develop stretch marks as a consequence of pregnancy severe weight gain muscle enlargement due to weight training and disease Dr Thomas F Mitts a leading plastic surgeon and President of Human Matrix Sciences LLC will present the results of the groundbreaking research on Saturday April 30 2005 at the annual conference of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in New Orleans LA
Setting out to discover why some people develop stretch marks while others do not in order to develop preventative therapies the test involved the identification of lazy skin cells-cells that do not multiply or make structurally important proteins at a normal rate compared to cells from persons with no history of stretch marks Extensive studies showed that all individuals with stretch marks possess lazy skin cells regardless of proximity to actual stretch marks and that a tiny skin biopsy can be used to determine predisposition to stretch mark formation
Prevention is very important as current noninvasive treatments for stretch marks are fairly limited and surgery is the only effective way of removing them said Felipe Jimenez PhD Director of Research and Development for Human Matrix Sciences LLC
Recent laboratory investigations produced several compounds that increase activity of lazy skin cells and are scheduled for clinical trials in the near future
