Doubt cast on 'regrown finger', Acell may have exagerated. (Hair Multiplication & Research)

ť ť The problem isn't Acell here. If you originally read the whole story and
ť ť not just the BBC headlines, then there's no change in the story now.
ť ť
ť ť The company orignally just reported that the tip of a finger was
ť ť regenerated. But the media basically called it "half a finger" when it
ť ť never was . . . and now the media is "casting doubt on the story" that
ť it
ť ť was really half a finger and not just the tip.
ť
ť Acell is definitely the cure. The guy that lost the finger tip actually
ť regrew back everything including the finger nail. It seems that the acell
ť matrix did stimulate the regrowth process but our bodies already had the
ť program (or whatever it is) in our cells to let it know that finger nail
ť belongs in that general and it regrew it. Now the guy in the article with
ť the burned skin is hoping the Acell treatment will regrow skin. Now if that
ť is the case wouldn't hair follicles in the skin also be regenerated? I'm
ť betting hell ya!
ť
ť What I find funny is why are the hair restoration industry so closed
ť minded in this area? Their investing millions on research to regenerate the
ť hair follicle when there is something already that does exactly that. I
ť wish someone with a forward thinking mind in this industry get on top of
ť this. I think the first one that does can confidently state they have cure
ť baldness!

If you listen to the audio on the link I posted, the guy says that the person that 'regrew' his finger actually had his nail bed intact, so he never completely lost his nail and it would have regrown anyway.
(The guy even goes as far as to say that people can even regrow the very tips of their fingers any way?)

The guy only lost the very tip of the finger. (3/8ths of an inch or so)

What they are complaining about in the audio is the media saying that it is 'magic pixie dust' that can regrow a whole finger (other articles suggested that he lost half of his finger, at least to joints).
They also say that the 'Extra cellular Matrix' that people have referred to in news articles is already present in humans and shouldn't be confused with the Pig bladder scaffolds made by Acell.
They aren't saying Acell are lying or the guy never regrew any part of his finger they are basically complaining about how the media confuses/embellishes the truth and then that is what the public believe. They say that medical breakthroughs should be reported by PHD's or people more in the know.

So far, it is unknown if it will be able to grow a full limb on a human. (although it works very well at healing open flesh wounds in animals, it hasn't as far as I know grown a full limb or part of a limb on an animal either) But in terms of curing MPB, If it can regrow healthy skin and fur on animals, I don't see how different it can be to regrow healthy skin and hair on humans. My only worry would be if you dermabrated your scalp Follica style and applied Acell scaffold to your head it may only regrow healthy, smooth, follicle free scalp skin.
