Here’s an interesting looking book: Medicalized Masculinities, edited by Dana Rosenfeld and Christopher Faircloth. From the Book Description out at Amazon.com:
When medicalization—the characterization of human traits in terms of disease and ailment—first appeared as a concept in the 1970s, most social science gender scholarship focused on female or genderless bodies. The work on men, health, […]
I had wondered myself; now I wonder no more.
Q: Dr. Bernstein, why have you not had a hair Transplant? I’m sure this question gets asked a lot. Thanks.
A: Yes, all the time. My donor area is very thin (so I am not a good candidate) and I have gotten used to being bald. It has […]

While I dug out from a crazy week of late nights and travel at the day job last week, some of the top brains in the hair biz were in Vancouver at the Fifth International Congress on Hair Research.

Here’s an overview of the treatment options for hair loss presented with flair by Cecil Adams. All you need to see to know he’s got a sense of humor is a summary list of the four available treatments:
Castration.

Here at Science Museum are some quotes and facts on the recent developments in hair regeneration…. and more importantly some pretty cool photos. About half way down the page is one showing the stem cells, dyed blue, that are actually responsible for the hair regeneration.
