Good to see.

Full-Thickness Skin with Mature Hair Follicles Generated from Tissue Culture Expanded Human Cells.

Abstract
The goal of regenerative medicine is to reconstruct fully functional organs from tissue culture expanded human cells. In this study, we report a method for human reconstructed skin (hRSK) when starting with human cells. We implanted tissue culture expanded human epidermal and dermal cells into an excision wound on the back of immunodeficient mice. Pigmented skin covered the wound 4 weeks after implantation. Hair shafts were visible at 12 weeks and prominent at 14 weeks. Histologically, the hRSK comprises an intact epidermis and dermis with mature hair follicles, sebaceous glands and most notably, and unique to this system, subcutis. Morphogenesis, differentiation, and maturation of the hRSK mirror the human fetal process. Human antigen markers demonstrate that the constituent cells are of human origin for at least 6 months. The degree of new skin formation is most complete when using tissue culture expanded cells from fetal skin, but it also occurs with expanded newborn and adult cells; however, no appendages formed when we grafted both adult dermal and epidermal cells. The hRSK system promises to be valuable as a laboratory model for studying biological, pathological, and pharmaceutical problems of human skin.

interesting. if this means they're back in the game now it'd be a good news for sure. but this new mice method doesn't seem to have any advantage over the other teams who have join the league during the absence of aderans yet. but anyway we'll see

More the better! Not sure all the differences between the mouse models but this seemed to have produced a subcutaneous layer. Adipose tissue. Closer to fetal state.

Is it possible the paper just got published really late rather than the discovery being made recently?

if there was a lot more competition we would even see a permanent cure for baldness(regrow full head of hair) in 1 year believe me

If women we're to suffer from baldness to the degree and in numbers as men, we would have had a cure decades ago.
