Grab your dad because scientists think they’ve found a cure for baldness

He'll be only delighted.

No doubt you know a few men with bald heads. More than 50 percent of guys will experience some form of baldness in their lifetimes, and most of them are not too happy about it. Of course, there are men that are content being bald, but for many others, balding can be either be due to illness, aging or genetics. But tell you men to fear not ladies, because scientists have apparently found a cure for going bald. According to Indy100, researchers at the University of California have conducted a study which see them able to grow hair on mice. The scientists increased the production of lactate in their hair cells, meaning the hair follicles that were previously redundant, started to grow again. They further tested it out by having one mouse with increased lactate and one mouse without any. The one without any lactate didn't grow any new hair at all, while the one with lactate saw a major increase. William Lowry, an author on the study, said: "Before this, no one knew that increasing or decreasing the lactate would have an effect on hair follicle stem cells. "Once we saw how altering lactate production in the mice influenced hair growth, it led us to look for potential drugs that could be applied to the skin and have the same effect." It's only a matter of time!
