Searching through my back catalog of half-baked, not-yet published posts, I came across this one… which is strangely similar to the news about hair regeneration in mice that came out this week. According to the article abstract from in the Journal of Cell Biology researchers led by Nao Osaka observed a similar phenomena in mice […]
OK, so that might not seem like big news. But it has the potential to be really big… and not just in the realm of hair growth. See it’s been thought that hair loss was permanent, meaning that if skin lost it’s hair follicle - and thus the ability to grow a hair - then […]
