New study of Hair Follicle Regeneration

Stem cell; cell based hair therapy

http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct/show/NCT00506636?order=6

A ten year study is taking place in Taiwan :

“Hair transplantation is an well-documented way of treating hair loss. Hair transplantation is based on redistribution of hair follicles without any new follicle formation. It has been long that a lot of researchers have focused on developing skills in regenerating hair follicles. However, cultured dermal papilla cells lose the ability of inducing hair follicle formation after several generations in vitro culture. Our study is aiming in culturing dermal papilla cells in vitro and maintain their spherical structure before transplanting into dermis in vivo. Meantime, this study may help clarify the actual mechanism of inducing hair follicle by dermal papilla cells.”

Let´s hope that Intercytex are ten years ahead of everyone else.

Something to note here: “Total Enrollment: 400”. Is it the number of trialists? Is a much bigger number than intercytex…
