Could hair cloning be a cure for baldness in a few years' time?

Hair cloning could provide cure for baldness

Extract from the Telegraph:

"Follicular cell implantation works by replicating remaining hair strands and has already shown positive results in continuing clinical trials on human beings. It could eventually help millions of people to regain a full head of their own hair.

The technique has been hailed as a major advance in hair restoration and is backed by a £1.9 million government grant.

It has the potential to re-grow a limitless supply hair for individuals who have become bald during cancer treatment, from suffering severe burns, or simply the onset of age.

Trial results presented at a conference of leading hair replacement surgeons in Rome suggested that the cell therapy can increase hair count in at least two thirds of patients after six months, and four out of five if the scalp is stimulated beforehand through gentle abrasions which encourage hair growth.

The procedure is being developed by Intercytex, a British company based in Manchester."

Hair loss can be slowed down by eating less salt and avoiding dieting. Insufficient food often causes hair loss.
