Not much. Because the whole TRC program does not seems to be working as well as they are implying in these reports.


They take a small skin biopsy (like a couple of square centimeteres at the most) and then they grow a whole lot of cells for re-injection from that small sample. They're saying they think they could grow 10 times the number of new hair follicles as what you lost from the small biopsy sample.
