They cured hair loss in mice at least twenty times now and we still have bald humans

They should probably find a way to turn humans into mice. It's a shame to leave billions of dollars on the table like that.

Might be a good concept for a sci fi story actually, probably a comedic one. Scientists learn how to cure any disease and reverse aging, but only for mice. Conveniently for plot reasons, they also figure out how to turn people into mice and back. You can get any disease cured or become young again...but you have to spend three months as a mouse.

Someone that knows what they're doing: I will watch this show.

Is Anne Hathaway coming back as the grand witch?

I know of a short story on becoming a mouse, but that one's focus is something euthanasia adjacent.

I cannot remember what but I've heard of mention of a story where because there's so many cures of disease for mice that they take over the world or something. It's such a faint mention sorry

Pinky and the Brain. Obviously.

Fuck that, just implant those mice on my scalp.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Why do we not simply transplant the hair from the mice, onto the humans?

[-] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 weeks ago

To avoid rejection of the hair follicles, simply glue live mice to the top of your head.

This sounds like a ChatGPT response from the early days.
