October 8th, 2005 Research team led by Yann Barrandon at the EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne) and the CHUV (Lausanne University Hospital) has discovered, using animal model, that certain cells (clonogenic keratinocytes) inside hair follicles are true multipotent stem cells, capable of developing into the many different cell types needed for hair growth and follicle replacement. They demonstrate that these holoclones can be used for long-term follicle renewal.

May 17th, 2007 Mice with deep skin wounds can grow new hair, scientists said on Wednesday in a finding that offers hope for a baldness remedy for humans. The mice regenerated hair at the site of the wound via molecular processes similar to those used in embryonic development, according to the research, published in the journal Nature.

June 14th, 2009 MELBOURNE - It's time for people with receding hairline to cheer up - Australian scientists are trying to cure baldness by using stem cells to grow a potentially endless supply of new hair. If proved successful, cloning would overcome the limitations of existing hair-loss treatments.

February 19th, 2009 The 4th Annual Stem Cell Summit was held yesterday in New York. One of the chief attraction of this conference was Dr.

October 14th, 2008 Swedish researchers have found a complete new properties of the skin's stem cells. It comes as a sharp contradiction to the previous findings.

October 13th, 2008 Finally a reason for the bald people to smile. Nature Genetics journal professes some reasons why some people lose their hair, and how they may eventually be able to grow it back.

July 13th, 2006 Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have isolated a new source of adult stem cells that appear to have the potential to differentiate into several cell types. If their approach to growing these cells can be scaled up and proves to be safe and effective in animal and human studies, it could one day provide the tissue needed by an individual for treating a host of disorders, including peripheral nerve disease, Parkinson’s disease, and spinal cord injury.

February 17th, 2009 How does the body regenerates organs? One of the nature's best-kept secret! And who do we expect to uncover the mystery? Its our hair!! The hair follicle, at the base of each hair strand is like a mini-dispensable organ. Throughout our lifetime each hair follicle follows a cycle of growth, destruction and rest using an intrinsic stem cell population.
