Baldness hope as birds get teeth

Baldness hope as birds get teeth

Quote:

LONDON, England -- Scientists have grown chicken embryos with teeth which may lead to a breakthrough against baldness.

The experiment suggests that a gene that causes teeth or hair growth, inactive in birds for 70 million years, could also be rekindled in humans in the future.

I'm confused... did they stop having teeth after tha' flood? :eyebrow:
Million? Wazzat mean?

I'm assuming this isn't for people that are already born right?

Who would want to grow bird teeth out of their skull?

Metal spikes, I can see. :p

Oh great - now all I can think about is pigeons attacking me with their new spindly death teeth.

I'm more concerned with the prospect that future treatments for baldness go awry and men end up with a scalp studded with teeth.

Look. If you see a bird with teeth, then all hairs will stand on end. Nobody needs more hair than that.

That got me wondering. I wonder if I could pull this off. My wife said she thought I could do it. I only have hair on the back of my head and sides, nothing in the front or top past my ears. And my hair grows really fast, well what is left of it.
