A new study, published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, offers a potential for restoring hair, using a person's own cells. They are performing their technique on the backs of mice, but the hair they are using is human. Hair transplantation surgery typically involves moving hairs from the back of the head to the front. This is particularly difficult in women because they usually don't have enough back-of-the head hair to transplant. The technique is also not normally done in men with early-stage baldness because their hairlines are still receding. It hasn't been tried on a person's head yet, but it has resulted in the generation of human hair follicles on the backs of mice. This is early-stage research, but scientists believe that trials on humans could begin in 3 to 5 years.

A new study, published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, offers a potential for restoring hair, using a person's own cells. They are performing their technique on the backs of mice, but the hair they are using is human. Hair transplantation surgery typically involves moving hairs from the back of the head to the front. This is particularly difficult in women because they usually don't have enough back-of-the head hair to transplant. The technique is also not normally done in men with early-stage baldness because their hairlines are still receding. It hasn't been tried on a person's head yet, but it has resulted in the generation of human hair follicles on the backs of mice. This is early-stage research, but scientists believe that trials on humans could begin in 3 to 5 years.
