Pluck hair in a specific pattern to grow new hair

New study:

"If there's a cure for male pattern baldness, it might hurt a little. A team led by USC Stem Cell Principal Investigator Cheng-Ming Chuong has demonstrated that by plucking 200 hairs in a specific pattern and density, they can induce up to 1,200 replacement hairs to grow in a mouse. These results are published in the April 9 edition of the journal Cell."

More news of mouse testing.

Who gives a fuck?

Maybe we should find a way to transform ourselves to mouse and rodents. EVERYTHING will work for us......
Bring in the Mutagen!!!!!

It amazes me how many times they repeat the same experiments over and over again. Another wounding experiment.

Millions of women suffer also have thinning hair and experts say they may be more deeply affected by it psychologically.

Hair loss took my life away, I was confident but that was yesterday.

Hmm this is very interesting. I decided to pluck hairs on my left temple and not my right. On my regime it seems that I have long terminal hairs growing faster and thicker than my right. I always thought it was just coincidence( have take and still take weekly pics) but this is making me wonder. What if it really worked this way. That we can skip the entire shedding and just pluck hairs which somehow produced thicker terminal hairs.

There is a study:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12734505
It was posted a couple of weeks ago.
What's in it? Well, they took some miniaturised hair from a man's head and grafted it to a imunodeficient mouse.
Waited a couple of months, and...surprise! The hair that was miniaturised on hman scalp recovered PERFECTLY and turned itself into a thick hair on the mouse skin!!!! If you can believe that:

This report shows that miniaturized hair follicles of pattern alopecia can quickly regenerate once removed from the human scalp and can grow as well as or better than terminal follicles from the same individual.

Wtf?? Ironically, "dying" male pattern baldness follicles from humans grow even BETTER than healthy follicles, when transplanted to a mouse...
I'm no expert, but THIS would be, imo, enough to render completely useless all the search of a cure for HUMAN male pattern baldness on mouse.
IT's useless, it is used by the so-called "scientists" only in order to simulate some research and have what to publish in their papers and magazines. male pattern baldness and mice, what a joke... We already have 101 ways to turn a bald mouse in a super-hairy one, but none work a damn on a human scalp.
And still, year after year we are bombarded with news like "scientists are closer than ever to a cure for male pattern baldness, bla bla bla....they did something on a mouse and it grew hair bla bla".

So i think that study on mice is pretty useless. By plucking hairs on a human scalp, all it would do is make balds spots bigger. As i know, in humans, plucking out a hair may result either in it growing thinner, or growing none at all, depending of the harm done in the process. If it's a miniaturised hair, most probably it won't grow back at all, and if it's strong, who the fvck would pluck the -less or more- good hairs remained on his scalp?

Somebody study this sh#t. Might be the cure.

Old news. It doesn't work. Hellouser already tried it a few years ago.

I'm as torn about my hair loss as anyone on this board, but I often get a good giggle from this forum. Somehow plucking single hairs turned into setting your entire head into fire and this in turn escalated into throwing yourself inside of a nuclear reactor. But agreed, it is darn frustrating to read an article full of hope just to learn that it is just another treatment for MICE . . .

I am 26 and I have been fighting with my hair loss for over five years. It has been years since I last posted here. There seems to be a lot of new approaches, much more information concerning male pattern baldness than before, but at the end of the day, to us, none of it has any real practical value thusfar. The effective treatment is still five years away, just like it was five years ago. I keep hoping and occasionally look into the hair loss world. Propecia has been kind to me and somewhat helped me slow down my temple deterioration, but I can't go on like this forever. Sooner or later nature will take over.

I just think its sad in 2015 we are talking about plucking hairs to try to grow new hair in the cutting edge forum. Its even just on mice no less. What is not to be excited about? At this pace male pattern baldness will be cured in the next century some time after we are all long dead.
