My DH told me about this one. I think it's amazing that the cells actually repaired the hair follicle ( evidenced by the hair regrowing even after it was plucked out).

Another reason for more research! Poor mouse though with his little mohawk of human hair!

Stem cells are awesome. Though as much as we all like hair, I have to roll my eyes at the fact that even though stem cell research is fairly young as far as sciences go, vanity applications have already come this far. :rolleyes: Just you wait, "body modification" is going to have a very different meaning in a few years.
