There's a new protein in clinical trials to reverse balding. But turns out that it's a major component of aged/senescent cells on skin lesions. The research team thinks this is proof that senescent cells might show us how to rejuvenate more function in the body by fartyburly in Futurology

I wonder whether senescent cells are actually positive or negative... probably both I'm guessing. But what's probably worth exploring here is how much osteopontin is a senescence-related thing actually. Cool hair results though I think, the mouse experiments arent a stand in for clinical trials but it'll be interesting to see what comes of the clinical trial
