Stem cells may cure baldness
Research showing that bald mice can grow hair after being implanted with a type of stem cell could lead to a cure for baldness, a group of scientists says.
The project marks the first time "blank slate" stem cells were able to induce hair growth, said Dr. George Cotsarelis, a University of Pennsylvania dermatologist and study co-author.
The study was released Sunday on the Web site of the journal Nature Technology in advance of its April publication date.

Will someone please call Ari Fleisher?
Repukes will now be for stem cell research since it can cure a repuke disease like baldness!
