Basically, the researchers harvested papilla cells from the donors, cloned them, injected them into skin they grafted onto the back of the lab mice, and watched for new follicles to sprout up. They did, in five of the seven grafts. Tests showed that the new hair was from the human donors, not the mice.

Baldness- like @rofelia, it's only your fault if you don't hate yourself enough to do something about it.

Do you think Newt will be a hit on CNN in the new "Crossfire?" I hope is his not selling out the common sense ideas he ran on.
