مستخلص: HairClone has already created a follicle banking service, where people can have some of their dermal papilla cells removed and cryogenically frozen. First, healthy dermal papilla cells would be extracted from young people and frozen in a follicle bank. Unlike the skin organoids, this treatment doesn't have the potential to restore hair to a person in an advanced stage of pattern baldness because it would only revive ageing follicles, not those that have already miniaturised. In the early 2000s, regenerative medicine entrepreneur Paul Kemp founded a company that investigated whether injection of dermal papilla cells into the human scalp could stimulate the growth of entirely new hairs.
