I remember dr Gardner, who I hold very high, said he thought that it would be theoretically possible too, to dissect the follicle under a microscope, get the DP cells and make 2 new hairs that way.
I haven't read the whole study though, did they measure hair diameter ? If the resulting hair is 50% thinner then it's still not something really interesting.
Anyway, even if it would work, it's just not feasible, at least not by hand, it would take weeks of work to split like 3000 follicles, I think dr Gardner said about 3 minutes per follicle to dissect and split the DP cells, so 20 follicles an hour, 160 a day, 18 days for 1 patient.
