The Link Between Telomerase Research and Hair Cloning
“Generating hair follicles in hair-free skin wounds is a completely new approach to regrowing hair. It was only with the advent of finasteride and minoxidil and improvements made in hair transplantation techniques in recent years that the new era began, enabling hair loss sufferers to halt the further progression of the balding process and replace the missing hair on top of their head using the hair left at the back of their scalp. NEOSH101 is mainly expected to replace minoxidil and some other, reduced forceful hair growth stimulants.
“Another promising line of development is the telomerase research. The next release is expected in September 2008. Telomerase research could really copper the apple of medicine but its commercial application might be a special decade away.
“Hair multiplication, oftentimes commanded hair cloning, is the next hopeful treatment option being developed. Telomerase thereby maintains the genomic integrity. that technology is currently being developed by the US medical device party, Follica, that licensed that technology from the University of Pennsylvania. Cancer research is the main get detail of the telomerase study but scientists are plus appearing for other applications, such as anti-aging drugs and drugs against baldness and grey hair. However, to that day no ultimate cure for baldness exists.
“There are presently several promising drugs and new techniques under development but none of these new therapies is expected to hit the trading post before 2010.
“NEOSH101 is being developed by the US firm Neosil and it is currently undergo! ing phase IIb clinical corroborating. Intercytex reported results of the latest stage of the clinical phase II study of ICX-TRC (a suspension of a patient’s own dermal papilla cells) in March 2008 and they were largely positive. It was discovered accidentally as wounded skin in mice started producing new hair. It seems that becoming bald will soon be by choice rather than destiny.”
