Stanford scientists discover hair growth molecule

A team of scientists at the Stanford School of Medicine discovered a molecule in mouse embryos that triggers hair growth. They noted the possibility that the molecule can be used to treat human hair loss as well.

The molecule, "laminin-511," sparks embryonic stem cells in the skin to begin growing hair. According

Scientists at the university's School of Medicine discovered the molecule "laminin-511," which signals embryonic stem cells in the skin to start growing hair. Researchers suggest that if the molecule can trigger hair loss after birth, it can be administred via injection to areas where people desire hair growth.

I guess we'll all just have to wait and see. It sure is reassuring to see so much research being done on hair loss and finding plausible, permanent solutions. With the way things are going, and end-all solution doesn't seem too far off.
