A cure for baldness could be on the horizon. Researchers from Taiwan University say they have discovered a serum that could potentially regrow hair in just 20 days. The study, published in the journal Cell Metabolism, showed that fat cells under the skin can restart hair growth.
The researchers used mouse skin samples to monitor changes to the fat tissue under the skin, as well as to the hair follicles and the cells that help hair grow, after they caused small injuries to trigger certain reactions, according to a press release.
After skin injury, fat cells began breaking down stored fat in a process called lipolysis. Fatty acids were then released into the skin, which acted as a signal for hair stem cells to grow. When the scientists stopped the fat cells from breaking down fat, it prevented hair from growing.

That’s SNL’s Kenan Thompson, who’s doing an excellent (and deliberately exaggerated) imitation of Family Feud’s Steve Harvey.
Being skeptical kept me from taking the Covid poison vaccine, I’m pretty sure Im going to skip the baldness treatment as well.
Does he call himself Mr Wombbroom? I don’t know him and don’t watch SNL. I kinda like the idea though. Regards
mice with mullets? Just great.
Spoken like someone with hair. When bald people look around, all they see is everyone else's head covered with hair.
I'm handsome and charming enough without hair myself (LOL. I'm in chemo and what I had left is all gone anyway), but a lot of guys need all the help they can get.
Grecian Formula???
The mice always get the good stuff before we do... BTW - Exactly what do we have in common with mice???
I still have some hair left... But not much... The thing is.. I'm 63 years old, so who cares whether or not I have hair? I certainly don't.
I actually came across a fellow in public that I had to look at twice to believe what I was seeing.
He had his long untrimmed nose hairs blended into his full David Crosby mustache. Truly bizarre to see.
Sounds like all you have to do is scrub your head vigorously with a wire brush, then. Probably helps to have a fat head, too.
Good luck with the chemo. I’m pushing74 , I got hair, got irradiated for my cancer and so far so good. Please know there is out here those that feel your pain. The H word is health not hair. Godspeed FRiend. Wish they’d make a vax for a bad back. Regards
Yeah, but what about the hot, hot chicks?
Thanks! :)
Talk to Laz.
Unfortunately... I don't carry cash anymore.
Paraphrase of movie Soul Man (1986): “I exceeded the manufacturer’s recommended dosage.”
The key word is “permanent”.
RE: BTW - Exactly what do we have in common with mice???
Ask any RINO.
Tonics and lotions to cure baldness are as old as the Bible.
