BBC Video/ Article - The man who grew a finger (Hair Multiplication & Research)

Here's a longer version of that report:

Incidentally regarding regenerating limbs/organs, the body is able to do it in a limited fashion such as the tip of the finger, down to the cuticle. So I'm wondering if it was that natural process that got triggered with the cellular matrix they applied or was it an activation of stem cells?

If its the latter its a great thing-that's what we want, stem cells coaxed into regenerating the skin/hair, if its the former-some innate bodily function to regrow the fingertip then it might not be so promising for hair regrowth.

My gut instinct is that wound/healing is probably the right path to getting back a full head of hair. We just need someone to prove it and repeat it on humans of course, anecdotal stories are not enough.
