For Labmouse........... (Hair Multiplication & Research)

» Follica is making hair, but will it make hair that is
» just like the hair in the skin around it?

That's part of the big question...To me, hair characteristics (e.g., size, direction, color) and density are the big unknowns with this treatment.

I still need to look at the paper below, but it does offer hope that Follica can grow terminal hair where there are currently none. The fact that an EGF receptor antagonist (gefitinib, which is mentioned many times in Follica's patent) can grow a terminal hair on the tip of someone's nose - where there is normally only very, very tiny vellus hairs - does offer hope that we can grow terminal hairs on a bald scalp....at least in theory.
