Human organs could be grown in animals "within a year"

OMG this is more than big news!

Remember the method Tsuji lab used to grow hair follicles? They grew the hair germs to maturity by implanting it into the subrenal capsules of a mouse. They then extracted these mature hair germs and implanted it on the back of another mouse using the FUT method!

Where they're stuck is how do we grow these germs to maturity in humans? We can't use the patient's kidneys to do it? So what's the solution?

This new technique may very well be what Tsuji lab was waiting for! Assuming all risks are taken into account, these trials will be revoltionising medicine as we know it!

It wont matter whether baldness is an aesthetic condition rather than a medical one! If we can grow hair germ follicles, if the technology is there then there's nothing stopping it from coming to the market!

We have to think outside the box as Nigam does. We have to try different methods and not fear the unknown but embrace it, experiment with it!

Some may say we are playing God! Don't forget God may have made us based on his own image! Human beings are amazing creatures.

We had a Professor that always used to end his lectures with this line:

“When you walk to the edge of all the light you have and take that first step into the darkness of the unknown, you must believe that one of two things will happen. There will be something solid for you to stand upon or you will be taught to fly.” - Patrick Overton

Even if we don't end up flying...we MUST take the leap into darkness

You really have the best posts, Desmond. I especially like your quote "We have to think outside the box as Nigam does. We have to try different methods and not fear the unknown but embrace it, experiment with it!". We have to focus on other methods to regrow hair and not simply focus on hair transplants and derivatives of moving hair from one place to another. And that's what I like about Dr. Nigam; at least he is willing to explore other methods for hair restoration.

And that Patrick Overton quote is very profound.
