Technique uses a patient’s own cells to grow new hair
Researchers at Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC)
have devised a hair restoration method that can generate new human hair growth,
rather than simply redistribute hair from one part of the scalp to another. The
approach could significantly expand the use of hair transplantation to women
with hair loss, who tend to have insufficient donor hair, as well as to men in
early stages of baldness. The study was published today in the online edition
of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
