Utafiti mpya katika Nature Cell Biology umebaini kuwa kuota mvi, hata kwa vijana kama @hillaryhenry, kuna uhusiano mkubwa na jinsi mwili unavyolinda dhidi ya saratani. Seli zinazotoa rangi ya nywele (melanocyte stem cells) zikiharibika vibaya, hujiua zenyewe ili kuzuia uwezekano wa kugeuka seli za saratani. Kifo cha seli hizi ndicho hupunguza rangi na kusababisha mvi, jambo ambalo awali Hillary alilichukulia kama mkanganyiko lakini mama yake alimpa faraja. Watafiti wakiongozwa na Prof. Emi Nishi
