Cure for Mouse Pattern Baldness?

superfearo writes "Wired News reports that scientists have found a way to grow new hair follicles on hairless mice using stem cells. Of course, these Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers hope to use this procedure to grow hair, skin, and even sebaceous glands in humans. The stem cells used in this research were not extracted from embryos, but rather from the skin of the mice. So if the same can be done with humans, this procedure can perhaps avoid any controversy."

I read the topic title and thought it was about a cure for those shiny pathes on your non-living mouse that you get where your fingers and hand constantly rest. Then I thought, "I've never thought it a problem to have a shiny bit even though the rest of the mouse is matt plastic."

Kill me now; before it's too late.
