This is beyond interesting. Yet as is the case with so many of these innovations, they just "die in the lab". They are reported on, then tested on mice, and then nothing is done to bring them to human application.
I always bring up this story because I find it so fascinating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc3fPeNZooA. Yet despite all of this, burn victims are still being treated with horribly flawed and antiquated techniques like skin grafts and debridements. It really makes me sick when I see the majority of the medical community (and more specifically the hair loss industry) sticking to the status quo, despite its glaring flaws and drawbacks. On a side note, I actually e-mailed the scientist who created the skin gun, asking him if he could do the same thing with hair follicles, except he said that the stem cells of skin and the hair follicle are very different types of stem cells.

Where this is a very impressive tool, I imagine for MPB like everything else it is years away

Reminds me of the Bioreactor that Lauster's team is using.

Great news for those after the millenium. They will be able to 3d print hair follicles and skin at home and inject it directly to their scalp, while we'll be old and bald haha.

We won't be old and bald... we'll be dead by then.
