Using a new technique to harvest dermal papillae from humans, the researchers cloned the human papilla cells before transplanting them between layers of human skin taken from newborn foreskins, which typically can't produce new hair.

Saw Palmetto will do the same thing for some. Definitely cheaper.

Let me guess.

A cure in 5 years.

There’s been a cure for Baldness and Cancer coming in just 5 years for the past 50 years.

Why would you want a hairy lawn?.................

[kjam22]

There are people coming up with ideas to graft human newborn foreskins on to the back of rodents for testing? Sheesh

[Zuben Elgenubi]

could be harvested from rodents and transplanted back onto their skin to create new follicles.

Hairy DemoRats?

Bald and proud of it.

A cure? The premise is seriously flawed. It implies that baldness is some kind of disease. In fact, is a continuation of mankind’s evolutionary improvements. Or perhaps we should go back to being cavemen with hair covering our entire bodies.

Meh. My wife used to sell “arbonne”. One of their products is a “hair restorer”. It costs about $30 for a tube that lasts me 18 months. It’s ridiculously easy to use. I started using it about ten years ago. When I was 43 my daughters were laughing at “dad’s growibald spot”. I’m almost sixty now and have a full head of hair.

The strongest testimony? The woman that always cut my hair saw the new growth and wondered what happened. When I told her, she bought a ton of the stuff for her customers.

Oh, and the same thing happened regarding my wife’s hair and her hair stylist.

As far as I’m concerned, the whole baldness thing is a nut that has been successfully cracked quite a while ago for the lion’s share of cases.

“The years passed, mankind became stupider at a frightening rate. Some had high hopes the genetic engineering would correct this trend in evolution, but sadly the greatest minds and resources where focused on conquering hair loss and prolonging erections.” - Idiocracy
