Hope for baldness cure as scientists trigger hair growth with chemical used in perfumes: 'A rather amazing finding'
Researchers say they are 'not far at all' from taking discovery from lab to clinic
another cure for baldness is found
Re: another cure for baldness is found
hmm.. slows the death of hair follicles?? What if many of your hair follicles have closed up shop and don't produce hair anymore?? The article says it increases the growth of hair too.. Is this another treatment that you'll need to apply daily to keep the hair growing? If so, I'm sure there will be a hefty cost..

Sister in law has found the best cure for baldness ... told her hubby to stop shaving his head ... works wonders 
Re: another cure for baldness is found
and koreans have invented LED hats that allegedly promote hair growth
The treatments that could finally stop baldness - from 'clones' of your follicles to a 'Miracle Gro' made from chip-pan oil
Shockingly, almost 40 per cent of British men have lost some or all of their hair
Baldness is usually the consequence of genes inherited from both parents
It's often triggered when levels of testosterone surge from puberty onwards
Similarly, some eight million women in the UK also have some degree of hair loss
Fortunately, scientists are on the cusp of major breakthroughs, as these show...

A chemical designed to mimic the smell of sandalwood also has the power to stimulate hair growth in humans, according to a new study.
Though the research was undertaken using scalp tissue in a laboratory, the scientists behind the discovery say they could be on the cusp of effectively treating hair loss.
As trials are already underway to assess how this product performs in human volunteers, the team say they are “not far” from making the transition from the lab to the baldness clinic.
New cause of baldness accidentally discovered by scientists
“This is actually a rather amazing finding,” Professor Ralf Paus, a scientist at the University of Manchester who led the research, told The Independent.
“This is the first time ever that it has been shown that the remodelling of a normal human mini-organ [a hair] can be regulated by a simple, cosmetically widely-used odorant.”
To achieve these results, the scientists tapped into an ancient chemical pathway found in hair follicles that allowed them to both slow down the death of these precious structures and promote their growth.
They did this using an unlikely substance known as Sandalore, a chemical produced to recreate the smell of sandalwood, which is often used to make perfumes and soaps.
Smell is a sensation triggered when molecules of “odorant” chemicals are recognised by special cells in the nose, but the processes underpinning this phenomenon are not confined to the nasal passages.
