Sounds very good.
In a respectable Australian paper today.

Thanks for the info. It seems like they might have discovered a better way to do what Curis was trying to do with the Hedgehog Agonist. I had a feeling that their research discovered that the agonist would do the very same thing that this protein can do: cause stem cells to gather in an area and repair follicles.

"The research overturns a longstanding belief that loss of hair follicles in adulthood is permanent." This is something many studies have proven and I have always been on a crusade to help others understand. Perhaps others will see this and kill the myth - even some doctors and some researchers have bought into it. The fact of the matter is that the only way to kill a follicle is to damage the skin it is on.

Hi,
From a reading of a few articles on the work with the wnt protein it seems that the potential to cause several types of cancer exists. Plus the researchers think that although it is a breakthrough, it is still years off from treating mpb. Curis swere a lot more optomistic.

Sorry guys,
Have a look at these two different links. They seem to be two seperate studieson mice that induce hair using the wnt protein. Or am i mistaken. The later one seems more like the curis results and have potential risks. tell me what you think....

Badger,

I think the research looks promising...but I guess there is a lot more to do since mice have very similarities to us humans. Well...I suppose there are a few people like rats out there that we could experiment on.

Anyway, though these studies are interesting, I reserve any excitement for further developments. Many experiments seem to work on mice until they die form some dreadful side effect (like cancer). I guess we'll have to wait and see on this one.

Sometimes I wish I were the mouse so I could get this too! But I just dont want to die from the results. Very good that they are learning this so someday old guys like me can avoid the surgery.

Coach K?

On a related note, does anyone have any thoughts on his hair? Definitely looks like he uses some concealers.

lol Sanjayahair...

If you were a mouse, you wouldn't care if you had hair or not . Besides, these poor mice typically end up with dreadful side effects.
