Researchers have successfully stimulated hair growth in mice using microRNA to genetically manipulate hair follicle stem cells, meaning that balding pate may one day be sporting a mane of luscious locks.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Hair, Bald… Continue reading Molecular manipulation stimulates hair growth in mice
When you think of all the human hair that gets cut off and discarded every day in salons around the world … well, that’s a lot of wasted hair. That said, scientists in India have devised a new technique for extracting compounds from it, for use in prod… Continue reading From hair waste to high-tech: Turning salon scraps into sunscreen
While gray hair has been increasingly embraced in recent years, it remains a very visible sign of aging that some would prefer not to broadcast. And despite a lot of research into the mechanism that causes melanin-producing stem cells to run out of ste… Continue reading Stem cell discovery could help stop, or reverse, age-related gray hair
Unlike normal skin, scar tissue doesn’t contain any hair follicles. New research now indicates that when such follicles are transplanted into scar tissue, that tissue changes to become much more like uninjured skin.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, Sc… Continue reading Study suggests hair follicle transplants could eliminate scars

Scientists in China researching advanced treatments for a common form of hair loss have found success through a novel microneedle patch, which was used to regenerate hair in bald mice. The device works by tackling oxidative stress that impacts on folli… Continue reading Microneedle patch digs deep to regenerate hair in bald mice
Scientists studying the way hair follicles take shape in the human body have found new success in the lab, demonstrating a way of growing fully matured forms of them in culture. The breakthrough presents scientists with a novel platform to investigate … Continue reading Hair loss breakthrough sees fully mature follicles grown in the lab

As compared to traditional agriculture, hydroponic farming uses less space and less water, plus it requires no soil. It still does require a growth medium, though – and scientists have recently created a better such medium, derived from discarded human… Continue reading Discarded human hair could be used to hydroponically grow vegetables
