of creating new human hair follicles, based on fetal stem cell research. Trump will immediately cancel his ban on such research, and volunteer to be an early test subject.
Guaranteed.

(2,151 posts)In 2017 the UT Southwestern dermatologist and cancer researcher had been investigating potential therapeutic targets for neurofibromatosis (NF1), a disfiguring disorder that causes masses of typically nonmalignant tumors to grow on or inside a persons body. When the hair of his lab mice started turning gray or falling out, Dr. Le immediately recognized the potential of his finding.
I never know what we will find, but I follow the data we generate wherever it leads us, says Dr. Le, who holds both an M.D. and a Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Same thing with my life. I experience events in life and follow wherever they lead me.
Now, as Dr. Le and researchers in his laboratory continue their quest to understand how mutations of the NF1 gene lead to tumors along nerves, another part of his lab focuses on the mechanism for hair graying and balding with an eye toward a possible treatment for these prevalent human conditions.
