Quorum Sensing : pluck hair to regenerate growth

[noisette]

Hello guys,

I'm not sure this is a new research, but I read this paper published on February 2015 : http://www.cell.com/cell/abstract/S0...2900182-8?cc=y

" Researchers have demonstrated that by plucking 200 hairs in a specific pattern and density, they can induce up to 1,200 replacement hairs to grow in a mouse. "

Yeah but I just want to highlight this key phrase.

they can induce up to 1,200 replacement hairs to grow in a mouse.

[noisette]

yes but perhaps they can test it on humans in few months or not... I don't know

Well, there is a reason scientists test on mice, because, believe it or not their biology is very close to humans. So who knows? The theory behind it makes sense to me. Simply a response to a physiological stress... the only question is, what about the follicles already affected so drastically by DHT? But, you're absolutely correct in the most important way - I am yet to see a mouse affected by male pattern baldness. haha

NW6 here and tried this already with waxing part of my head FOR SCIENCE. Didn't do anything.

mouse, period.

I wouldn't try that if I was you noisette.

Unfortunately, I am blessed with an unseemly mono brow that makes me resemble Attila The Hun. I was once arrested for trying to invade the Roman empire.

However, after intensive plucking I can now go out in public without frightening furry animals.

Plucking will only weaken the existing follicles thus leading to further hair loss.

A point worth emphasizing that many people seem to forget.

This process is similar to that used in humans by Liu :-)

How about we follow on from the Dermarolling Community Trial, anyone interested in starting a Plucking Community Trial
