SCIENTIFIC ANSWER
''McDonald's'' world famous french fries may just be the cure for more than just hunger.
A JAPANESE stem cell research team may have found a way to eliminate baldness by using an ingredient in McDonald's french fries, reported the New York Post.
The Scientists from Yokohama National University discovered the chemical dimethylpolysi-loxane, a silicone used in McDonald's fry oil to prevent splashing, can be used to mass produce hair follicles on mice.
The ''simple method'' has proved widely successful in creating ''hair follicle germs'' [HFC] or cells that help grow hair follicles, according to the study.
The research team credits the use of dimethylpolysiloxane is the ground breaking experiment that has resulted in thousands of simultaneous hair follicle germs.
''The key for the mass production of HFCs was a choice of substrate materials for the cultural vessel,'' Professor Junji Fukuda in the study.
''We used oxygen-permeable dimethylpolysiloxans [PDMS] at the bottom of cultural vessel, and it worked very well.''
Once the HCIs were transplanted into the backs of the mice, new black hair began to sprout in those areas.
''This simple method is very robust and very promising,'' Fukuda said.
''We hope this technique will improve human hair regenerative therapy to treat hair loss such as androgenic alopecia [ male pattern baldness ].
In fact, we have a preliminary data that suggests that human HFC formation using human keratinocytes and dermal papilla cells.''
