Hair Stem Cell – hair cloning and multiplication
There is a lot going on in the world of hair restoration surgery and hair loss treatment. There is a recnet post on the hair restoration blog of Dr. Mohebi on hair stem cell research and the future of hair restoration with hair clonning and hair multiplication.
Hair restoration multiplied hair by transplantation of hair follicle stem cells and dermal papilla cells (the cells of the bottom of hair follicles) in alginate gels (media used for cell transplantation).
There is a new article on hair stem cell and hair restoration published by a group of scientists at regeneration lab of tissue engineering, Department of Bioscience of life science in Northwest University of China authored this article. They proposed a system to use the two important hair stem cells to form mature hair in people with hair loss.
These scientists discusss the discovery of hair follicle stem cells (FSC) brings gospel to the affected individual of hair loss because of its capacity of generating new hair when they interact with mesenchymal dermal papilla cells or DPC.
Combination of the effects from the abovementioned two cells are known as the necessary cells for formation of new hair. Since both FSC and DPC have strong proliferative capacity and the patient’s own cells could be expanded considerably in vitro, the authors summarized that the microencapsulation of the two kinds of cells in alginate gels could be implanted into the bald scalp of the patient since alginate gels is effective in cell transplantation. They concluded that the strategy may provide a more convenient and valid alternative to hair loss if the hypothesis proved to be practical.
Dr. Parsa Mohebi at Los Angeles hair transplant office of US Hair Restoration, follows the most recent findings on the field hair hair stem cell research or hair multiplication also known as hair cloning. The above theory sounds logical and seems to be simple. However, until it is experimented in the lab and then on life creatures we cannot know how practical it may be. It seems like the race to use hair stem cell for the treatment of men hair loss is started.
