Scientists have discovered stem cells that are vital in hair regeneration process. They hope to adapt the stem cells to create a therapy for hair loss. Millions of people worldwide suffer from baldness. Baldness predominantly affects men and affects up to 85 per cent of men by the age of 50. The scientists are now embarking on clinical research and laboratory trials. They observed that hair growth was a cyclical process within the follicle. They used 220 combinations of chemicals to make the hair regrow naturally. The research could lead to hair follicle regeneration therapy in the near future, scientists say.
