News of the Hairless

11:11 pm

BBC News has a stimulating story on genetic tinkering that allows bald mice to regrow fur, with potential applications for reversing human hair loss. As a formerly shaggy character now endowed with a certain scalpular prominence, I’ll be interested to see where this research goes.

Personal trichology aside, this study rates an HMNH seal of approval strictly for the dramatic before-and-after pictures of hairless to fuzzy mice.
