Why cant they do this for hair follicles? Seriously?

What cell types did they use then? I'm confident they used both dermal papilla fibroblasts as well as keratinocytes from HF Bulge.

Most say dermal and epidermal cells. Unless I am missing something.

dermal cells can be dermal sheeth, or dermal sheeth cup.

Yeah I've seen the video, but I find it hard to believe they would not use DP cells, ARI themselves developed many of the assays that measure trichogenicity of cultured cells in vitro, so I would think they would use DP cells.....just IMO.

I think you're right.. just watched the video again..

I think you're right.. just watched the video again..

they are culturing the cells for just 2 weeks regarding this video., without serum.

I have their patent somewhere, will reread it tomorrow.

That is interesting if the case....Nigam OTOH is culturing bulge stem cells for 6 wks, perhaps DP cells for the same amount.

ARI is likely not using 3d dp cultures as that is newer technology and I think Jahoda/Christiano/Higgins hold the patent there.

Huh.

Didn't know we were already cured. Who'd have thought?

Wow man you blew my mind: we could really CHOOSE what kind of hair we wanted?
I was happy if i could find something to stop my hair loss haha.

But what do you thinks is the best way to approach the problem of regulations?
What can we do in your opinion?

Some one else posted this discovery a while ago on this forum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsxCrv2wuss. If they can multiply skin like this (and use this discovery on a human being), then I wonder why they can't do the same thing with hair follicles.
