		<description><![CDATA[Looking at stem cells as a cure for baldness is hardly new, but being able to bio-engineer a hair follicle from one’s own DNA would represent a significant new breakthrough – but that&#8217;s exactly what a team of researchers in genetic regenerative medicine and bio-engineering at Tokyo University have done.

		<description><![CDATA[A research team that includes investigators from Colombia, Rockefeller and Stanford Universities, believe they have found a gene that impacts hair growth.
The gene that was identified is APCDD1 (adenomatosis polyposis down-regulated 1).  This gene is involved in the progressive hair loss condition referred to as hereditary hypotrichosis simplex and it is a condition that usually presents [...]]]></description>

The identified gene causes a condition know as Hypertricosis simplex.  It affects 1 in 200,000 people causing them to begin losing hair in childhood. [...]]]></description>

I was researching my hair replacement options and stumbled across a website that promoted scarless hair transplants. When I went in for a consultation the salesperson told me that I was not a candidate for the scarless operation and suggested that I have a traditional hair transplant. Is this a common bait and switch [...]]]></description>
