Summary: Hair Follicle Regeneration in Adult Mouse Skin After Wounding

May 19th, 2007

This study demonstrates that after wounding the skin of an adult mouse, an embryonic-like change in the epidermal cells outside of the hair follicle stem cells can be induced to form new hair follicle stem cells. In other words, these cells originate from epidermal skin cells in the wound, but then are able take on the characteristics of hair follicle stem cells and actually produce hair.

How Are Hair Cloning, Hair Multiplication, and Follicular Neogeneis Different?

November 13th, 2006

Q: What is the difference between hair cloning, hair multiplication, and follicular neogeneis? I have read about these terms on the internet and am completely confused. A: Cloning generally refers to the multiplication of fetal stem cells or embryonic tissues. “Hair cloning”, as the term is generally used, involves the multiplication of adult tissue cells [...]

What is Difference in Hair Cloning Techniques Studied by Aderans and Intercytex?

November 10th, 2006

Q: I know that both Aderans and Intercytex are doing research with cloning hair. Is there any difference in their approaches? A: Aderans is using the “two-cell” approach. They feel that the best way to produce viable hair follicles is to use a combination of inducer cells and responder cells. Each would be multiplied separately [...]
