Scientists believe they've discovered a cure for baldness.
It's hiding in your hairy moles - and can be injected like
Botox.


"But according to new research, there is one molecule that drives
pesky moles on our skin to overproduce hair. And the researchers
who discovered its hair-growing potential believe it could be used
to treat age-related hair loss.

"You don't need to actually invent any new molecules," hair
scientist Maksim Plikus from the University of California, Irvine told
Insider. "Nature has them all."

In a study published in the journal Nature on Wednesday, Plikus
and his colleagues revealed osteopontin — a molecule "that has not
been previously linked to hair growth" — is very active in hairy
mole skin.

Plikus believes this compound could be needled into the scalp of
balding men and women to reawaken hair follicles that have gone
dormant, in a near-painless Botox-like procedure."
