Reproduce or clone hair cells in the laboratory is believed to be able to offer new solutions and become the potential techniques to overcome of baldness problem in men.


Experts from the British in the preliminary research has succeed to develop new techniques by taking a small portion of hair cells, then reproduce it in the lab and inject it to the bald scalp.


Six months after treatment, 11 of 19 hair loss patients show new hair growth. Nonetheless, researchers still need to do further research to ascertain whether the new hair grows normally and equal to its original hair.


Currently, there are various available techniques, including hair transplants grow. In this method, 8 to 20 strands of hair from the back of the head was moved to the desired area. However, these techniques have limitations because it depends on the amount of the remaining hair, or in other words no new hair is grown.


But with this new method, called "follicular cell implantation", researchers claim can overcome the limitations of the supply of hair cells. If further research shows positive results, this new technique is likely to be applied within five years in the future.


The key of these new findings is the ability to reproduce the hair cells in the laboratory. They just took the cells found in dermal papilla in the hair follicles which is an important role in hair growth.


These cells can be obtained from the strands of hair which is still growing on the back of the head. These cells are then harvested and immersed in a kind of special developed chemicals in the laboratory, before injected into the surface of a bald head.


Initial research results show that many patients get benefit after the treatment for several months, although the number of patients involved in this experiment is still minor .


Dr Paul Kemp, the representative of Intercytex's Scientific (the company as the initiator of this technique) - said the presence of cell-dermal papilla cells can trigger the growth of new hair follicles and rejuvenate after it stop producing hair completely.


"I think this technique will be a revolution in hair care. People will use this when they started experiencing hair loss. They will come and find us. We'll take a few cells, dermal papilla cells, grow them in the laboratory, freeze and inject it partly.


"They can comeback when hair loss process continues. I'm sure this will work, it is questions about how to perfect the technique," said Dr Paul Kemp.
