For the first time, scientists have identified cells in mice that are capable of regenerating new hair follicles when transplanted into the skin. The finding is likely to spur research into new hair loss treatments for humans.
The mystery of migrating monarch butterflies has captured the attention. of people throughout the world. East of the continental divide in North. America, monarchs generally migrate to central Mexico from as far away as. Ontario, Canada. Monarchs west of the divide fly to the coast of California. to spend the winter. They cluster together on tree limbs during the winter. months in California by the thousands, and in Central Mexico by the mil-. lions.
The Monarch knows instinctively where to go and how to get there. It is still a mystery exactly how this information is passed on. Monarchs live in all states and reproduce wherever they can find enough Milkweed to support their young. Monarchs are not pests and will not eat anything but Milkweed. They do not hurt crops, ornamental trees or in any way upset the balance of Nature in areas they are introduced. Monarchs are the State Butterfly of Alabama, Idaho, Illinois, Texas, West Virginia and Minnesota.
