Regular Member Schiller Posted July 27, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted July 27, 2019 Actually, I agree with Markee. Here's another step forward: https://www.sbpdiscovery.org/press/functional-hair-follicles-grown-from-stem-cells There have been breakthroughs in this approach in the last couple years. Optimism is not misplaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Schiller Posted July 27, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted July 27, 2019 I guess that was the same information. Sorry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Al - Moderator Posted July 31, 2019 Moderators Share Posted July 31, 2019 What I imagine happening at some point in the future is that they will be growing your hair in the lab and then transplanting it to your head at a later time. For example, you go in for a consultation or pre procedure and they take a few follicles or cells and then begin growing them in their lab. In 6 to 12 months time, you go back and they can then transplant those follicles that they grew in the lab to your head. It wouldn't really matter if the hairs are growing in different directions in the lab because they will just be doing FUE to extract the lab grown grafts and they can place them at the correct angles into your head just as they do now. That's what I imagine happening, but who knows. Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.
