"Yale researchers have discovered the source of signals that trigger hair growth, an insight that may lead to new treatments for baldness. The researchers identified stem cells within the skin's fatty layer and showed that molecular signals from these cells were necessary to spur hair growth in mice, according to research published in the Sept. 2 issue of the journal Cell."

I think those so-called "scientists" are realizing it's so easy to trigger hair growth in mice that they're probably thinking to themselves why bother with anything else if we can make easy money just pretending to be doing research on hair loss. It looks like anything and everything can regrow hair in mice, yet they keep at it. It's becoming more and more obvious these guys are doing what they're doing for the easy money they're making while at the same time not doing anything in return.
Hmmm, a million experiments and "products" that regrow hair in mice but no one seems interested in trying them on humans. Two products that work -to a degree- in treating hair loss in humans (Minox and Fin) but probably never tried in mice.Comment

These mouse experiments are really a useless joke. It seems like there are 2 groups of people in the hair loss world: 1. those that will never to anything useful for humans and never have any intention of doing anything beyond experimenting on mice, and 2. hair transplant doctors who have no intention of doing anything besides hair surgery or some kind of form of hair surgery, despite the fact that hair transplants are so fraught with things that can go wrong that most people don't even want them in the first place. It's really so f****n stupid and I think most of us have figured it out by now. Here is another similar article that was posted a while back: http://oristem.com/article.php?s=pot...tion-uncovered. This article is just as much of joke as the the other one. This talks about rabbits having an active hair growth cycle which ensures their survival in the wild. God, what a joke!! Like we really need to know this!! And I'm familiar with the 'researchers' who 'discovered' this; they've been experimenting on mice for God knows how long and have not done a damn thing to benefit humans.
Man, if we had more Histogens and Replicels out there (people looking to do something to benefit humans, not just constantly poke and prod at mice), they I would literally have a friggin orgasm!Comment

Treatments tend to take 10 years to arrive on the market after they have been proven effective in mice if they prove to be effective in humans too. That's how long the process takes and it can take longer if it works.Comment
