Hair Cloning
How Does This Work?
Hair clon does not currently solve baldness, but there is potential for future advancements. In 2011, researchers determined that baldness is caused by a lack of progenitor cells, not stem cells. Progenitor cells originate from the stem cells in the follicle “bulge” and produce hair. Androgenetic alopecia, a common cause of baldness, may be reversible.
In 2013, hair-generating dermal papilla cells were successfully cloned by creating a natural growth environment. Stemson Therapeutics achieved hair growth from human dermal papillae cells implanted in mice in 2019. However, there are no updates on their website regarding human trials or further progress. Meanwhile, a doctor in Japan has announced forthcoming clinical trials but has not provided new information since mid-2020.
