The journal Nature reports on a new study which has revealed that adult skin stem cells may be able to grow hair:
"Skin may have the capacity to regenerate lost hair follicles from within, according to a new discovery that could yield better treatments for baldness or abnormal hair growth. Researchers have found that, when skin is wounded, skin cells can assume the properties of stem cells that generate hair follicles and growing new hair."
