A cure for baldness is on the way as scientists successfully grow 'unlimited' hair on mice using stem cells - and are now refining the process to be used on humans
A potential cure for baldness was presented at the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) conference on Thursday in Los Angeles
Scientists from Sanford Burnham Prebys have created hair follicles that grow through the skin using human induced pluripotent stem cells
In tests scientists grafted human stem cells and mice cells together on scaffolds placed under the skin of hairless mice and were able to grow hair follicles
Now they're refining the process to be applied on humans
The process uses dermal papilla cells - which reside in the hair follicle and control hair growth and are derived from induced pluripotent stem cells
This process is different from others because human iPSCs provide an unlimited supply of cells and can be derived from a simple blood draw
'This is a critical breakthrough in the development of cell-based hair-loss therapies and the regenerative medicine field,' Dr Alexey Terskikh said
