Scientists say, with those stem cells in the scalp already, all that needs to happen is to get those cells to produce the secondary cells that produce hair.
Stem cells produce progenitor cells, or so-called workhouse cells.
"If we figure out a way to wake up those stem cells, get them to make hair for progenitor cells, that would go a long way toward developing a treatment," Dr Cotsarelis told ABC News.
Possibly a cure in 10 years :fuckyea:

this kinda creeps me out...... i'd hate to imagine a day where people everywhere are 80 and still have a head full of hair... so unnatural and eerie... i'd rather go bald as i age...
...but thats coming from a guy still with hair :P

wtf is this shit?
everyone know's the stem cell is the start of all cells.
If we figure out a way to wake up those stem cells, get them to make "hair" or "bone" or "skin" or "cardiac cells" or "insert cell here" for progenitor cells, that would go a long way toward developing a treatment.
Obviously if we could activate stemcells and manipulate them the way we want we could make any cell... what a stupid ass report.. It doesn't surprise me that this report is from ABC.

Crude oil takes millions of years to form, but scientists say if they can somehow find a way to reduce the millions of years down to a single year, the world will not ever run out of oil!
