Although there are still many question marks regarding this procedure that can, in an absolute worst case scenario, render the addition of verteporfin pretty useless in the end (what if the regenerated hairs don't thicken up and disappear after 6 months?) , the results so far get me more hyped than any other new development as of the last decades. This includes the more sci-fi cloning stuff that only seems to work in mice but never shown any PoC in humans yet.
If everything falls our way (hairs grow thick and luscious, and even the removal of a transplanted follicle can cause a new follicle with verteporfin use), this might actually be the cure. Which is still a long shot, but not impossible.
Anyways, however it ends, again crazy credits for dr. Barghouthi for at least giving it a shot.
