Scientists Are Growing Human Hair on Mice to Transplant to Bald People

Scientists are growing human hair cells on mice in order to satisfy youth-hungry bald people.
The founder of dNovo, a medical startup, told MIT Technology Review that his company has successfully transplanted human hair stem cells onto a mouse.
The result is a terrible example of what science has gone too far.

It's just kidding. The underlying technology is fascinating and goes back to how baldness works. Humans have all the hair stem cells. They are gone for good once they are gone.

That is how things are currently. Lujan claims that his startup is able to create stem cells by modifying other cells. He thinks the technique could be used to treat the underlying cause of hair loss.

dNovo is a startup looking to cure baldness with stem cells. Stem cells can be used for a commercial treatment, but more research is needed before that can happen.

Stem-cell researcher at UC Davis, Paul Knoepfler, wrote in a post about stem-cell therapy for baldness that you have to be aware of scam offerings.

The technology is a long way away. For now, balding people will need to save up for hair plugs or a good wig, or just make peace with their body's natural processes and embrace their baldness.
