ACell, a Current Review of Applications in Hair Transplant Surgery

Wolvie1985, Dr. Cole does not have a whole lot of extra time to check-up on the forums but I think I can answer that question for you.

If you look at the 4th in the series of Dr. Cooley's video presentations http://www.iahrs.org/news/dr-jerry-c...tion-part-3-4/, around 6:40, he shows a photo of a combination of FUE and plucked grafts and says verbatim "If you look at the photograph on the left, the close-up photograph, some of those thicker hairs are the FUE grafts and then some of the finer hairs within it are the plucked hair grafts".

Plucked hairs are essentially transected follicles and though transected follicles can grow when transplanted (as long as they are nearly intact), the resulting hair will generally grow in finer due to the damage. Despite all the hype over 'autocloning', there is nothing truly novel about this.
