Transplanting hair from one person to another
This is a common question asked of me over the 27 years I have practiced in this field. I did transplant identical twins hair, from one to the other with great success but they had the exact same genetics, so that their body didn’t know the difference between them or the hair from one to the other.
A paper was published in Korea that suggested a way to do this in people, but showed the results in mice here: https://m.koreabiomed.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=4920
Mice are very different than people, so I wound not rush to South Korea with your wife or mother to get their hair on your bald head. This is more a dream than reality.
