Well, I saw a study in which hair from a women was grafted in a man. The emune system DID NOT respond. The Doctor said this is something that is usually done, but he did not say no.bubka said:
EDIT:Well, I'm totaly were is the part that they grafted the falicles, but they write about it in the end:
"
A recent article in Nature (402: 33-34), by Colin Jahoda and Amanda Reynolds, of Durham University, in Durham, UK, and several colleagues, showed that the mesenchymal portion of the hair follicle can induce new follicles to form in the skin of a human adult. The researchers transplanted dermal sheath tissue from the scalp hair follicles of a man (Jahoda) to the inner forearm of a genetically unrelated woman (Reynolds) and found that the transplanted tissue stimulated the formation of new follicles. The new follicles produced hairs that were larger and thicker than the normal vellus hairs on the arm, were mostly pigmented, and grew in variable directions.
Jahoda and Reynolds had previously demonstrated that transplants of isolated rat hair follicle dermal cells could stimulate new follicle formation in adult rats, but analogous results had never before been achieved in humans. The experiments in humans need to be repeated by others, says University of Pennsylvania dermatologist George Cotsarelis, "but if it really turns out to be true, I suspect there'll be a lot of interest in developing techniques for transplanting mesenchymal cells to people's bald scalps and trying to induce big thick hair." The results of the human transplant experiments, he adds, "also bring up [the] fascinating idea that the follicle is immune privileged," because hair follicles transplanted from one person to another, unrelated person were not rejected by the immune system."

you already have,it wont work and you need a new doctor,and leaving your dad with a big scar on his head isnt exactly a nice thing to do :hairy:

I call BS. There are lots of body->hair transplants going on, and the patients dont take immune suppressants.
Also a hair transplant from a relative would be no different from a skin transplant ( like burn victems get ). Those likely would require drugs, but its definately possible.

It's not BS it's fact. Everybody knows its an age old question on these forums that has been commented on by hair transplant surgeons. Your body will reject someone elses hair, its common sense. You have just as much chance as transplanting your moms tits onto your own chest!

Dude you get shock loss from ANY type of hair transplant - and it refers to the hair that is already there falling out due to shock, not the recently transplanted ones. Thats why diffuse thinners are not the best candidates for hair transplants.
Jeez, stop giving advice if you dont even know what the terms mean.

Bubka, don't bother with Thinning. If you haven't realized that he's an a**h** by now then just read some of his older posts.
Thinning, stop being a prick to everyone who disagrees with you and always trying to weave your amazingly successful life story into every one of your pathetic f*****g posts.

BUBKA, with all due respect, i'm looking for someone who has some facts in his hands. I showed you a study that says" also bring up [the] fascinating idea that the follicle is immune privileged" And you didn't evet give it a look. I'm lookin for someone that knows about this study and has some facts.
