The next big step in hair restoration is cloning.
Right now, there's a limit to the amount of hair a man has left to use for a transplant, but if we can take scalp tissue, isolate the follicular stem cells, grow the cells in a matrix, and then inject them back into the scalp of the donor, we'll be able to grow new follicles.
Earlier this year, George Cotsarelis, director of the University of Pennsylvania's hair-and-scalp clinic, reported in the Journal of Biotechnology that the cloning of follicular cells has been successful in mice. The process could be used to generate follicle growth in humans within the next decade, Cotsarelis said.
For now, though, follicular transplants are considered state-of-the-art. And that's good enough for Ricardo Rodriguez, a Web-content producer from Deltona who plans to undergo hair restoration later this month at Bosley's clinic in Boca Raton. "I'm getting thin on top and in the front," says Rodriguez, 33. "I've consulted my wife, and she doesn't have a problem with the way my hair looks. But it bothers me."
He used Rogaine with little success. He wouldn't wear a toupee, he says, "because people respect you less if you have a wig than if you were bald."
But a follicular transplant is "artistic and natural-looking," he says. "It's not intrusive, it's not fake-looking. I don't see any negatives other than the cost -- about $8,000. But that can be seen as an investment."
For older men, hair loss can look dignified, says Rodriguez. "But at my age, it's almost like losing my youth. I'm too young for that to happen."

kuluttua hiusten kloonaus on yleistynyt myös Suomessa!
Tämä kannattaisi lukea niiden, jotka vähättelevät (nuorten) miesten kaljuuntumispelkoa:

Oletko lukenut jostain että viiden vuoden päästä hiuskloonaus on yleistynyt Suomessa, vai mistä niin päättelet? olisi kiva kuulla asiasta jos jollakin muullakin on jonkinlaista tietoa asiasta.
kloonaus soluviljelmässä ottaa aikaa 15-25v
tutkimus on paljolti kokeellista
ei edes tiedetä miten hius kasvaa
vasta äskettäin selvisi että hius ei kasvakaan
tupen pohjalta !
