It's not quite the same thing. The one study showed that pre-existing balding follicles could grow and enlarge again, similar to control hairs that were also transplanted onto these mice. If Follica is creating new hair follicles, and if these new follicles are not immediately sucseptible to AGA, I think they'll grow fine on the human scalp, just like the hair at the back and sides.

I think the *real* question here is what phenotype the newly created follicles take on. They can start 'balding' immediately or soon afterward (similar to follicles already on the way out due to AGA), they could 'bald' over a long period of time (similar to our existing follicles, which are good for at least 15-20 years after they are created in utero), or they never bald (similar to hair at the back and sides of the head.)
