If clumps of your hair suddenly start falling out due to a common form of premature baldness, please don’t fret - scientists have pioneered a treatment to clone hair.
According to them, the technique, known as follicular cell implantation, works by replicating remaining hair strands and it could eventually help bald people to regain a full head of their own hair, The Daily Telegraph reported.
In fact, the technique has the potential to re-grow a limitless supply of hair for individuals who have become bald during cancer treatment, from suffering severe burns, or the onset of age, the researchers said.
However, the treatment may require more than 1,000 tiny injections to produce that number of hairs in extensively bald patients, but it promises to be quicker and less invasive than current hair transplant techniques.
The procedure is being developed by Intercytex, a British company based in Manchester, which is among many competing to find a cure for hair loss — a condition which affects 40 per cent of men over 50.
Trial results have indicated that the cell therapy can increase hair count in at least two thirds of patients after six months, and four out of five if the scalp is stimulated beforehand through gentle abrasions which encourage growth.
The therapy could be made available to patients within five years, the researchers hoped.
