hello, I have 2 questions about HM
1)Will we be able to create new hairlines, even ones that we were not born with? or will we be held to go by our forhead shape- it will look funny if hair will grow around the point where the scalp curves down to the forehead.

A recent article in Nature (402: 33-34), by Colin Jahoda and Amanda Reynolds, of Durham University, in Durham, UK, and several colleagues, showed that the mesenchymal portion of the hair follicle can induce new follicles to form in the skin of a human adult. The researchers transplanted dermal sheath tissue from the scalp hair follicles of a man (Jahoda) to the inner forearm of a genetically unrelated woman (Reynolds) and found that the transplanted tissue stimulated the formation of new follicles. The new follicles produced hairs that were larger and thicker than the normal vellus hairs on the arm, were mostly pigmented, and grew in variable directions.
Jahoda and Reynolds had previously demonstrated that transplants of isolated rat hair follicle dermal cells could stimulate new follicle formation in adult rats, but analogous results had never before been achieved in humans. The experiments in humans need to be repeated by others, says University of Pennsylvania dermatologist George Cotsarelis, "but if it really turns out to be true, I suspect there'll be a lot of interest in developing techniques for transplanting mesenchymal cells to people's bald scalps and trying to induce big thick hair." The results of the human transplant experiments, he adds, "also bring up [the] fascinating idea that the follicle is immune privileged," because hair follicles transplanted from one person to another, unrelated person were not rejected by the immune system. "
THIS SHOWs that maybe folicules do not bring up an imune attack. so maybe we will be able to have someone elses hair?
