Hello! I am Fuji Maru Kagurazaka.
I live in Tokyo, Japan. Thank you.
It's here! The latest hair follicle regeneration technology.
Professor Tsuzi's team succeeded in animal experiments of "hair follicle regeneration" in which hair follicles are cultured and regenerated and transplanted in vitro.
The key is to cultivate stem cells.
Two kinds of stem cells, epithelial and mesenchymal, are collected from hair follicles (A), and they are arranged in a high density in two layers in a collagen gel (B).
In this way, the mass of cells (hair follicle base group, C) that will become the source of hair follicles is regenerated.
When this is transplanted into the mouse, the regenerating hair follicle primordia grafts and hair grows (D).
