Hope?

Or perhaps misguided and unfounded optimism?

Hair Follicles May Regrow After Head Wounds

WEDNESDAY, May 16 (HealthDay News) -- A chance finding in
wounded lab mice could point the way to reversing hair loss, scientists
say.


While studying the healing of wounds in mice, a team at
the University of Pennsylvania noticed that the animals developed new hair
follicles after their skin was scraped.



I'll wait to see how this turns out before I spend my hard earned lucre on yet another baldness "cure". Besides, I kinda like the shaved-head look. Of course, it's not like I have much choice in the matter as it were...

That is all.
