I have no particular information on this, but silence usually means that they have nothing new to report.

The specialty of today’s hair transplant surgeons can become tomorrow’s hair cloners. Who else would be sitting at the cutting edge and wanting to make the market happen? When the flying car becomes commonplace like everyone has been wishing/hoping for 50+ years, I’m sure the major automakers will be right there at the forefront. As […]
I wish them luck. Of course, we are all waiting for the hair cloning or hair replication solution, but as the article suggests, it will take a few years yet. The article is confusing because on one hand there is a suggestion that the solution is available now and then they talk about the future. […]
Hair cloning is still in its infancy and we do not have much information about the process of a hair transplant with cloned hair, but I believe you are right and if it becomes available we should be able to transplant cloned hair anywhere that we do with conventional hair transplants now. Currently, we can […]
There have been good scientific studies with transecting the bulbs of individual hairs to obtain more than one hair from each bulb. None of these scientific studies were successful. There does not seem to be any ‘magic sauce’ in this report, so I am skeptical of it, but I would remain open minded if it […]
There has been considerable research on taking hair follicles, freezing them and trying to ‘wake them up’ for reimplanting later. Failure is very high and after a few weeks, there is virtually a 100% failure rate. It appears that freezing them with the various techniques available will kill the hair follicles.
I really have no way to tell how long something like this actually will take to be perfected (nor would anyone know precisely how long it would take to perfect hair cloning), but my guess is ten to twenty years.
Maybe a little research on your part and we can get rich together. Please, when you find the solution, I would love to participate with you on building an industry here. Hair multiplication has been successfully done in animals and also in human volunteers. Some researchers have succeeded in making two hairs out of one, […]
It is not that simple. I was told that the mice that had it done as you suggested (in the late 1980s), had died from overwhelming infection. I wish I could track down a published source to back that up. The answer is far more complex, but this is not the place to write a […]
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 […]
If you had a FUE procedure, where an individual hair follicle is taken from the back of your scalp one at a time and reimplanted to a balding part of your scalp, you would be left with a small punctate scar which would be virtually undetectable. It would be impractical to reimplant a hair follicle […]
Almost every day, I get some form of this question. Sometimes they get posted here, sometimes I just reply with a link to the Hair Cloning category. The idea that hair cloning is around the corner has no basis, yet the rumor persists. I do not believe that we will see anything for a good […]
If a doctor thinks that he can find a stem cell on you and move it to your head in the hope that it will grow hair (it actually might) then the doctor may be allowed to do this if he does this in his office. He has to pay attention to the medical licensing […]
I have no particular inside knowledge about this company. I read the press releases just like everyone else. To address your curiosity on phases for drug development and what it means, see: Phases of Product Development Hair Cloning Timelines: In 1987, Dr. Colin Jahoda first cloned hair. When that happened, the excitement was wonderfully high […]
I caught this presentation at a meeting of the ISHRS about 2-3 years ago. I was very impressed with the idea, but the proof was severly lacking with a minimal number of patients presented. Based upon hearing the presentation, Dr. Robert Bernstein and I decided to repeat the process on a few human volunteers. The […]
