I saw the following article in the paper this weekend from Univ. of British Columbia in Vancouver.

UBC scientist proposes to cure baldness within decade by 'cloning' hair
A cure for baldness could be developed within 10 years, according to a University of British Columbia researcher. Kevin McElwee, who holds a doctoral degree in hair biology, says the secret could lie in a new technique called "hair cloning." Dr. McElwee flew to Berlin this week to present his research to an international Meeting of Hair Research Societies. In the UBC public affairs magazine, UBC Reports, Dr. McElwee says hair cloning is a slang term for engineered hair growth. At the base of each hair follicle is a group of cells. Dr. McElwee believes that if these follicular cells were isolated and multiplied in a laboratory, it would be possible to re-implant them into the donor's scalp where they would divide to create new follicles and generate new hair. If his theory works, a sample of only about 10 hairs could produce several million cultured cells which, in turn, could grow several thousand strands of hair.

in the past, wasnt there a good bit of talk on these forums about Dr. Gho? I think he patented something on this. I went to his website not too long ago and the before/after pictures were nothing special to me. Certainly no better than ones ive seen here.
