Robert M. Bernstein, M.D., F.A.A.D., Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Columbia University in New York and founder of Bernstein Medical – Center for Hair Restoration, has been granted approval by the Western Institutional Review Board (WIRB) to study four different applications of the ACell MatriStem™ extracellular matrix (ECM) in hair restoration. Two of the studies include its use in a type of hair cloning, called hair multiplication, where plucked hairs and transected follicular units are induced to generate new hair-producing follicles.

Thanks for the information, gmonasco. I will be interesting to see if any of these applications turn out to be fruitful. I am cautiously optimistic.

I was watching an interview of a Russian cyclist on Youtube the other day from a few years back. While watching the interview, I couldn't help notice what a perfect head of hair he had. While looking at his hair, I began to imagine what it would be like to have my hair back. I would be so excited I don't know what I would do!

Even though I may have to be bald forever, I sincerely hope that something happens sometime soon. I believe it would truly change my life in ways I cannot understand. I think hairloss affects us in so many different ways - even our health.

I will keep some hope...
