Scientists Grow New Hair In A Lab, But Don't Rush To Buy A Comb The new method might allow doctors to increase the quantity of hair on your head, instead of just moving it around. But don't get too excited. A cure for baldness is not around the corner. The method has been tested only in mice and can produce only a small amount of strange-looking hair.
Mice get replacement glands, grown from scratch Tear and salivary glands were grown from embryonic stem cells and transplanted into adult mice, paving the way for similar human treatments in the future
