allogeneic hair transplant: is this a breakthrough?

[waynakyo]

Day dreamed about this years ago, can it become a reality beyond mice? Apparently there is a fix to the immune response.
Just gave it a cursory look. Not sure if it has been discussed on here

SNUH succeeds in allogeneic hair transplant without immunosuppressant

Researchers at Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH) have discovered a method that allows hair loss patients to receive other people's healthy hair without taking an immunosuppressant, the hospital said Thursday. Currently, hair loss patients undergo drug therapy in the initial stage...

Start saving and rounding up the homeless, we got this boys

Person-to-person hair transplants will never be a practical widespread treatment.

May be breakthrough. Cheers loud so it becomes reality.

time to breed a test tube race of ronald reagan hair babies so we can pluck their hairs and stick em into our shiny pates

Would work in theory well for people with black hair, the rest would have to start liking the idea of having to dye the hair every other week if this method actually works.

"Although it would be a challenge to apply it to clinical practice, the research is meaningful as it can utilize new implantable resources that were not possible before.”

would be real awkward if the transplanted hair didn't gray at the same rate. lol image just having gray temples but colored everything else

i don't think it would be too bad to have a few darker or lighter hairs though. Unless its a blonde to black it won't be that noticeable

Bruh I will literally find some NW0 mofo and bully him into giving me his hair deadass idgaf

I genuinely think this is some major breakthrough people been sleeping on.
It's not about taking hair from other people and trasplant them into your bald head, it's about cloning hair of every colour and thickness and create hair farms, so that you don't have to get your own hair trasplanted, but you can possibly just enter the clinic and get hair that match your colour and thickness without risks of rejection. It would be mass production of hair, and it would lower incredibly the costs because of the standardization of the procedure. We "just" need the cloning techonlogy. And I remember this is also something terkshish talked about pointing out this would be the ultimate goal

we don't just need the cloning technology, we need to know how to avoid the human immune system to rejection a foreign object/organ, that is something they still battle with within organ transplants. And the way to overcome this is with immune suppression medication, and that is already with a fairly matched doner person.

Its a very ambitious goal to have, to overcome this immune system problem and then transplant some foreign hair into someones scalp. I don't think it is going to happen anytime soon. I don't even think we have anyone being able to overcome this with some generic organs out of the lab put into humans.

I know there are some who have "flushed"/total transfused now blood into another person and then cured them for HIV or AIDS (what it was) but there is still a long way for a new organ to get integrated into the new body from a doner.

Awesome.

Hey man I was just referring to what the arcticle says, I am not a scientist myself. If they say they solved the rejection issue, I like to believe they really did solve it

This never posed a problem for them to begin with. When they clone hairs they aren't cloning the cells that get attacked by the immune system. They even mention this in the article OP posted.

According to the team, hair follicles are independent organs present in the skin and have an “immune privilege” that is relatively free from immune rejection. As the brain and cornea also have this privilege, the team could reproduce the same state of hair follicles that existed in people’s bodies by removing the donor dendritic cells involved in direct antigen presentation.

This "breakthrough" is useless to anyone who doesn't want mismatched hair from a drug addict or a dying man

I believe it when they do a proof of concept in humans, and not mice.

Many scientist have claimed a lot on mice, and had a have time to follow through on humans.

Yes but by the time it's possible we'll be either dead or too old. And no, I don't care about future baldies. I'm egoist

This is pretty cool.

Unfortunately cloning is years and years and YEARS away.

To me this seems more feasible than cloning.
