Hairless mice of the world, rejoice. Scientists have found a way to grow new hair follicles on your bald bodies using stem cells.
The study could be good news not just for furless mice. The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (http://www.hhmi.org/) researchers who performed the study are also hoping the stem cells will grow hair, as well as skin and sebaceous glands (http://www.encyclopedia.com/html/s1/sebaceou.asp), in humans.

Well I hope it works, it could be a big step forward, not for men only, but for the many women that feel embarrassed whenever they're exposed to the stares of certain individuals....... lets hope

Not sure I'd try it to be honest - I've been bald for a third of my life and most people say I'd look (even more) scary with hair :erm:
