I do think there will be a cure for baldness, just as I think there will be a cure for cancer and a cure for a rash of other diseases and ailments. When that will be is anyone’s guess, but science progresses all the time. It won’t be within the next few years, but we […]

Some people think that there is a missing protein, and that when present, it will kick in hair growth from some residual hair elements that are in the scalp. If a missing protein is the answer, then the growth cycle may be dependent upon that molecule (see Scientists Find Hair Growth Molecule in Mice). There […]
It is rare that I’ll give any kind of recommendation, but yes, Dr Ron Shapiro in the Minneapolis area is a very good hair transplant surgeon. He was one of the first doctors I trained. With regard to your question on the frontal hairline, it is important to note that most men do not know […]
I have no particular information on this, but silence usually means that they have nothing new to report.
The work sounds exciting and I look forward to reading more about their research in medical journals. I have not been following it though, because the information on it is cursory and does not give me the insights I need. You are right, the people associated with it indicate a general excitement that has been […]
Reference the following pages for Wnt proteins: PDF file – Towards a molecular understanding of hair loss and its treatment PDF file – Wnt-dependent de novo hair follicle regeneration in adult mouse skin after wounding ScienceDaily – Researchers Identify Signals That Cause Hair Follicles To Sprout I don’t have any knowledge as to how close […]
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.
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 […]
The excitement continues on the possibilities of cloning hair from special cells located in the hair follicles of healthy hair. UK government funds robot to help treat baldness The company says: The process for harvesting hair from the permanent zone is performed today using my Follicular Unit Extraction technique. If this is to be done […]
An FUE procedure will not damage your scalp or hair. Hair multiplication is experimental and probably will not work. There are a number of companies like Aderans and Intercytex trying to induce formation of new follicles. Most researchers would accept anything, whether it be follicular neogenesis or rejuvenation or stem cell yields, or anything that […]
Yes, hair cloning and multiplication may be possible, but not as soon as some people want or expect. I say, the sooner the better for all of us. There are many private investors out there who pump a great amount of money for such hair research. Thank you for your interesting insights.
Most people in the know believe that Drs Walter Unger and Jerry Cooley have stood at the doorstep for the emerging arena of hair regeneration. They have both spoken at various medical meetings on the subjects of hair regeneration and hair cloning and they have been kind enough to comment on the history and status […]
A reader sent the link to this article from The Independent regarding Intercytex: I have the cure for baldness (though it hasn’t worked for me, obviously) It should be interesting reading — though I must warn you that the UK-based website charges you to read the full text (it costs £1, which is around $1.85 […]
There are many new approaches for the treatment of male genetic balding that fall below the radar. I tell my patients that there are a few hundred steps to growing and cycling hair in the human body. What we know appears to be very little with regard to the identification of each of these steps […]
Note: This question / statement was actually posted as a comment to the recent Intercytex and Hair Cloning post, but I’m replying to it here. Also, I believe that the above mentioned “HM” means “hair multiplication”. I am always open to new ideas and new criticisms. I am also aware some may consider my answers […]
