ScienceDaily announced a research study led by Professor Takashi Tsuji involving the regeneration of adult stem cells for the purpose of recreating hair. This discovery allows significant advances in the development of organ replacement regenerative therapy. The purpose of organ replacement regenerative therapy is to enable the replacement of damaged organs.
The bioengineered hair follicle research study demonstrated impressive reconstructive results. The hair follicles displayed restored hair cycles and developmentally correct structures, which formed proper connections with the epidermis and other surrounding host tissues.
This study is interesting and important because it shows the possibilities of stem cell research. With stem cell research scientists can make the paralyzed walk. Stem cell research can create thousands of possibilities and improve the health of millions, if not billions of people.
