How it started ...

Researchers at the Technical University of Berlin, with the support of the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), have developed a skin model that is not created using skin cells, but using cells taken from hair. And now they are trying to create artificial skin that has hair - just like in real life.

Many popular media in Europe reported about this breakthrough during the past few days – of course most of these articles are published in the German language.

We need to revive this thread and fast!

[UK_]

Why? Is it available to the public?

[hellouser]

Um, this is old news about Dr. Roland Lauster's work. In the last three years, we've heard next to nothing from him.

lol

Hellouser, do you know if boldy got heart failure on cb?

[fred970]

Come on hellouser, again with this picture? No one has found a cure for baldness.

Why?
Dr. Lauster produced in his labs this ...


...namely, a "hair-fiber-producing-something" - and for hellloser it's "the cure".

I think this technology is definitely the cure BUT we wont see it come to fruition until at least 2020. The science is there but there's still a few missing links!

Things like replicating exactly the same DP cells in large numbers to ensure they maintain their trichogenicity is most probably the key! Once we can do this cheaply and safely, you can be certain we will see these treatments becoming available in dermatology clinics all around the world...

Stem cell research is being conducted in all fields of medicine NOT just hair loss and luckily they all feed off of each other...so you can be sure that we will have an answer to this nightmare in the next 10 years! I mean we already know how to create hair follicles, we just don't know how to multiply enough stem cells and DP cells to do so!

Hang in there guys, we will NOT die bald! That is definite

What of those of us who reach NW6/7? Do you feel similarly still, Desmond?

hahaha, that picture is so funny. Someone needs to get their ass to where he lives and talk to him.
