Hey News, you are my kind of poster!!! I logged on this morning to post this same link. I really liked this article. It gives insight into Intercytex's cloning trials and gives the background on Kemp. I liked hearing that he is sporting 66 cloned hairs on his own scalp. I hope their trials work well...

I agree with the author that drug companies are good at marketing their products to people who don't really need them and actually inventing disorders, especially mental disorders. I do think that baldness is something worth treating though and I also think the author is suffering from some form of ...

I thought it was interesting that Curis hopes to start human trials of the hedgehog. I would like to believe that would work. If it did, then a person could get back their original hair follicles without needles. If hair cloning ever works, I think you'll see a lot of people using it for vanity purp...

I would say that it is helping to slow things down. I didn't take any pictures, but it seems like I have more hair on top of my head where I very first noticed my hair was thinning over 2 years ago. If it is growing additional hair for me, then it would be on very top of my head and towards the back...

I can believe that about Brendon Fraser. I really don't know, but Colin Farrell's hair looks too good to be true. If you do a search for John Travolta hair piece picture, it brings back all kinds of hits to a close-up of his net based toupee. There are lots of websites dedicated to celebrity toupees.

1. check for underlying medical condition
2. minoxidil (rogaine)
3. hair transplant surgery
4. if all else fails, get a wig
