I`m not sure if this is really old news, but I was just wondering if there`s anyone who is researching this technique these days, or did it vansih with Intercytex?
I read about it on Bernsteinmedical.com. I think he called it "Colin/Jahoda experiment".
In their paper Trans-Gender Induction of Hair Follicles, the researchers have shown that dermal sheath cells, found in the lower part of the human follicle, can be isolated from one person and then injected into the skin of another to promote the formation of new intact hair. The implanted cells interacted locally to stimulate the creation of full terminal (i.e. normal) hair follicles. Although this is not actually cloning (see the definition above), the dermal sheath cells can potentially be multiplied in a Petri dish and then injected in great numbers to produce a full head of hair. The word potentially is highlighted, as this multiplication has not yet been accomplished. It seems, however, that this hair “induction†processes is the model most likely to work.
Does any one know anything about the future of this?
