This makes me think... could we engineer one of the bacterial species that is usually found in the scalp microbiota to secrete substances that neutralize factors that are increasing damage/depletion of melanocytes - thus graying of hair

wow, that's a great idea! It would help to protect the melanocytes from oxidative stress and so no grey hairs!!!

This would also be a cool biotech startup idea. Maybe summarize and add it here https://brainstorming.com/r/s51 with a link back to this idea page
