Printed skin with follicles
http://news.engineering.utoronto.ca/...canada-grants/
Developed in partnership with Dr. Marc Jeschke, the head of Sunnybrook Hospital’s Ross Tilley Burn Centre, the machine forms large, continuous layers of tissue that recreate natural skin. The printed product includes hair follicles, sweat glands and other essential complexities of human skin.

The big question:
Do the follicles grow terminal hair? If not, I don't care.
This team is from Toronto! Close to home. I've already called the doctor but his clinic/office is closed. I've left voicemail. I'll try and get some more answers from him tomorrow.

If we could build skin and hair, we can test a ton of chemicals in one tenth the time it takes to test things today

Its nifty for people with burns, but I dont think it has much to do with MPB. The hair is just normal vellus body hair probably that is normally part of skin. Growing skin though is a feat its not a simple thing to do, but not much use for MPB although advances like this indirectly and slowly take us toward growing real hair

Definitely a key member, there's about 10 of you whose posts I really pay attention to and value. This is one of the few online forums I know of that are really trying to make things happen and solve problems.

Whatever process they're using to grow skin with hair why couldn't they use that same process to produce skin that contains bigger follicles?
For example, I don't know what process they're using to create the skin, but it seems like they would start with some of the patient's tissue so why can't they start out with tissue from our scalp donor area and create more skin with larger follicles like in the donor area? Then they could remove balding tissue, and replace the balding tissue with the large pieces of cloned skin that have scalp donor area sized follicles.
It sounds like an unlimited donor supply to me.

As nice as it is that healthcare in Canada is free, it's still a JOKE in many respects. I left voicemail last night for Dr. Marc Jeschke. Here's his profile page:

I also called this morning, and again it went STRAIGHT to voicemail.
