Why did this recent research paper from professor Tsuji lab in Japan largely go unnoticed by this sub? Isn't this discovery huge? (hair cloning) Research/Science 5/11/2026
A recent discovery in hair cloning identified a previously unknown cell type essential for hair follicle growth, which could potentially make lab-grown hair viable if translated to humans. However, skepticism remains due to past delays and the challenges of replicating results in humans and making the process affordable.
