Bruh...Tyga....Hair Gains....Vol. Jamie Would Be Proud

balrog's "M" shaped hairline makes sense now since he originally had the m. bison name.

Your sig in correlation to the pic above...
 
He leaned back one too many times and his hairline never made it back
 
You wouldn't even be able to see dudes hairline if he was staring at you from straight on

[h1]Lab-grown skin could help put the hairs back on your head[/h1]

Fully functioning skin, complete with sweat glands and hair follicles, has been grown in a lab for the first time, giving new hope for the treatment of hair loss.

Currently, there are few treatments for many types of hair loss, or alopecia, which occurs when hair follicles are destroyed in the skin.

Although scientists have previously created the outer layer of skin - the epidermis - in a lab they have never managed to create the full organ which includes a layer of fatty tissue, and the dermis, where hair follicles and sweat glands are formed.

Now a team in Japan has shown it is possible to grow all three layers from stem cells. The researchers took cells from mouse gums and used chemicals to transform them into stem cells which were then turned into a clump of cells known as an "embroyid body". They were then transplanted into another mouse and within just a few days they started to turn into skin tissue.

Scientists then removed the new skin and implanted it into the original mice.

The animals were able to grow hair, and sweat through the new skin and the organ bonded well with the skin already present and started to create new tissue.

"Up until now, artificial skin development has been hampered by the fact that the skin lacked the important organs, such as hair follicles and glands, which allow the skin to play its important role in regulation," said lead researcher Dr Takashi Tsuji from the Riken Centre for Developmental Biology in Kobe.

"With this new technique, we have successfully grown skin that replicates the function of normal tissue. Our study contributes to the development of bioengineering technologies that will enable future regenerative therapies for patients with burns, scars, and alOpecia."

Currently people with hair loss can have transplants from other parts of the body that still have follicles, but with the new procedure only stem cells are necessary.

The treatment could also help burns victims. Current methods of growing a sheet of epidermis in a lab have helped restore some functions, but the new technique would completely restore the damaged area.

"It is well recognised that current therapies using cultured tissues suffer from critical issues, including aesthetics and the inability to excrete sweat and lipids from exocrine organs," wrote first author Ryoji Takagi from the Tokyo University of Science in the journal Science Advances. "It is expected that bioengineered (skin) can overcome these issues."
