Hairy, lab-grown human skin cell model could advance hair loss research

(Oregon Health& Science University) A new, hair-sprouting dollop of human skin created in the lab might one day help prevent hair loss. A paper published in Nature describes the hairy creation as the first hair-baring human skin organoid made with pluripotent stem cells, or the master cells present during early stages of embryonic development that later turn into specific cell types.
