Researchers say they could be used to treat burn wounds, skin injuries    HealthDayNews -- Cells in the hair follicles of the skin appear to be stem cells that may offer potential new ways to treat burn wounds and other skin injuries, as well as hair loss.    That's the promising conclusion of a study in the Sept...
