Hellouser what do you think about #4 on Desmond's list?
4). P202 (SY10): REPROGRAMMING REGULAR SKIN FIBROBLASTS INTO HAIR INDUCING DERMAL PAPILLA CELLS
Carlos Clavel
I don't know what to make of this one because it seems like it might be pie-in-the-sky technology that's a long way down the road. My thinking is that the last we heard they had not yet cracked the code for preserving hair inducing characteristics of cells that were going to produce hairs so this new idea of Jahoda's team to turn cells that were never going to be hair-inducing cells into hair-inducing cells seems much further down the road. After all, doesn't it seem like it would be easier to protect hair-inductivity that's already there in specific cells then to try to turn non-hair growing cells into hair growing cells?Comment

Hopefully there will be a companion product on the market to combat future miniaturization of this new hair.Comment
