Donor Regeneration

[FearTheLoss]

This is the article Dr. Wesley posted awhile ago, it seems as if pilofocus could easily do this, it would just be about finding the optimal depth to cut the follicle horizontally. If there are indeed stem cells on both halves of the follicle, as supported by this article, then regeneration will occur. If you add acell under the skin to support the growth, I bet a higher percentage of regeneration could occur. I'm very excited to see what becomes of pilofocus.

Stem cell therapies evolve last 10 years, but there are so many, many, many puzzles to be solve. We are still on the begining. It will need probably decades to cure some diseases like cancer, heart failure, androgenic alopecia...

Yes, clearly, but your comment isn't really relevant to this study. They've already proved it works here, it just needs to be fine-tuned.

Scientists need to understand how stem cells work, how to multiply and which stem cells are the best to use.

In recent years we have learned a lot as a function, but still have a lot to explore and improved.

Whether it comes to research on cancer, heart failure, hair loss or other things they are related to each other when it comes to stem cell science.

Everything new about how we can improve use of stem cell is benefical for hair loss even if its not related to androgenic alopecia research.

I personally believe pilofocus can prove to make this science a reality in day to day hair transplants. If each half is growing 70% of the time, when removed and split, then re implanted, I bet leaving one half in its natural habitat and addin a cell could make that 70% move closer to 90%+. So maybe we could be getting a lot better hair transplants that could be considered a surgical cure for some, with fine tuning down the road.

Nice study FearTheLoss, I agree. The artistry of skilled hair surgeons nowadays is so good that only donor limits are the problem. But if we can fix that with doubling that would be damn awesome. I would really like to know if more people actually proceed to further innovate and tweak this treatment. I really bet the HT industry is actually going to provide the first functional cure. Hopefully other people will stand up too and try to innovate in terms of doubling also. The beauty of it too is that you will basically have androgen resistant hairs. The concept is shown, that's very important.
