I am aware that stem cells can grow organs. Hair is an organ so if you can grow a heart, then one should be able to grow hair from stem cells. There are clinical trials presently underway that show stem cell placed in the heart, will grow heart cells. Please see: ScienceDaily.com – Stem Cells […]

Good question and I wish I knew the answer. This company has many good products and appears to be a good investment on their main line offerings. Be sure to check them out properly. If you believe that the company will live or die on cloning hair, don’t hold your breath.
I am afraid it is not so simple as you present it. The theory is good (stem cells will be a source of new hair), but that is simplistic. The problem of trying to grow hair from stem cells has defeated many researchers who see billions of dollars in successfully cloning hair from stem cells. […]
It might be DUPA, and mapping out your head for miniaturization will show miniaturized hairs in the sides and back reflecting over 20% of the hair population if it is DUPA (Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia). Propecia should have no impact on the permanent hair in the sides and back of your head, so even if Propecia […]
I am sure that they will rush to develop the cure or the cloning now that they know you only have two years left. My opinion runs better than 10 years before it is available, and another 10 years to actually perfect it. Let’s see who is right.
ANSA Italy – Stem Cell Hope for Baldness Sounds like a lot of hype and very early promotion. No meat on the bone in this article, but the picture is nice.
The way the research is going, hair follicular units that have intact stem cells will be taken out of the scalp from the permanent zone. One hair will make many hairs and therefore, as long as you have some donor hair left, hair multiplication, when it is available, will be able to be done on […]
This post is a follow-up to a question that was previously asked (see How Would Hair Multiplication Grow Hair In the Right Direction?) relating to controlling hair direction if one injected cells into the skin for hair multiplication. If there is a mature hair follicle, then the hairs would have to be carefully placed for […]
From attending the ISHRS conference last month and also being present at the Aderans presentation, there is nothing groundbreaking to report here. Aderans is continuing on with their research.
The solution where one hair can make many, is years away. We really do not understand the process and can not replicate it at this time. Too much hype, in my opinion and years away from a solution. When ever I report this, I get many emails that knock my pessimism — but I can’t […]
Just because phase I trials were completed, it does not necessarily mean the technology is valid. Phase II and phase III still need to be completed, then followed by FDA trials. Based on the Intercytex presentation at the ISHRS meeting I attended last month in San Diego, phase II trials should be completed by the […]
I was at the ISHRS conference in San Diego a week ago and more importantly to your question, I was in attendance for the Intercytex presentation at this event. It was stated that the phase II trials will end in 2008. Intercytex’s presentation, while enthusiastic, did not include any human volunteer examples or mention a […]
Over a decade ago, Dr. Walter Unger reported that a group in England was successful in cloning hair in mice. The mice then had the hair injected into the skin and as the hair grew, all of the mice died from massive infection. It was as you said, the direction of the hair went every […]
Best to check with the company, Intercytex. This type of research has been on going for some time.
The theory, in answer to your question, may be some form of cloning, cell manipulation, genetic transfer or magic drug. Possibly we will identify some substance, stem cell, genetic alteration or the like that will be more acceptable than traditional hair transplants for the balding man. When I started in the field of heart surgery […]
