The hair follicle Dermal Stem Cell (hfDSC) Now Identified
Very interesting article on the most current understanding of Replicel and others investigating the ultimate progenitor of the key hair follicle related cells - the hair follicle dermal stem cell.

It seems like there is a lot of literature coming out that supports Replicel's work. I am becoming more and more hopeful for this company to bring an amazing treatment to us all in the next 4 years.

I hope this isn't a stupid question but will the replicel and shiseido stem cell procedure be like a liquid injection or more like an fue where cells are individually planted?

There is support that combination of wounding + DPC or DSC or a combination of both results in hair growth. Not impossible, the cells are already there rather than relying on wounding and adding agents like Follica, but this is promising because once Replicel is approved, you could go in for a hair transplant and use the wounded areas from the donor and recipient to also receive injections of your own DSC cells.
This great because it'd give you potentially more hairs to be able to harvest from in the donor and thicken up your recipient area as well.
I'd LOVE for this to come to fruition.
Here's a paper that supports DPC/DSC cells turning into follicles with wounding:
