At last! Scientists may have found baldness cure

SCIENTISTS are a step closer to finding a cure for hair loss such as male pattern baldness after a study showed a new type of cell that makes hair grow.

For years it was thought that when a hair falls out, stem cells in the skin regenerate the hair follicle to trigger growth.

But a new study by the University of California at San Francisco found that immune system cells called Tregs, which control inflammation, are crucial.

Experiments on mice found that Tregs trigger the action of stem cells. When Tregs are removed, hair doesn’t grow, according to the journal Cell.
