In terms of science and biotechnology, cloning means The creation of the exactly same one organism taking a cell. In case of hair cloning, the hair and the follicle of a person is taken from the scalp and then it is cultured in the laboratory so that more hairs of the same type could be produced. This new achievement show a new direction for those who are suffering from hair loss. It would be able to resolve the problems of the bald people as many researches are happening regarding the hair cloning. Although scientists test the hair cloning procedure but there are many difficulties which are still to be earned in the order to become successful in this field.
The cloning of hair will win finally the edge over the other method like the transplant of hair. The first one advantage of cloning would be that major surgery could be avoided. The transplant of the hair do have some side effects as falling of hairs, spicy and swollen up scalp and other infections but hair cloning will takes care of all these issues. The basic concept behind the hair cloning is the stem cells of epidermis. The cells of the stem can divide into unlimited manner and it can produce offspring which can change to several cell types. In case of hair cloning the extraction, cultivation and stimulation of some cells and the special proteins are done which are-
- Derma papilla
- Derma sheath
- Keratinocytes
- Laminin-511
Hair cloning is still an ongoing process which is facing many obstacles and the scientific and researchers are trying to find out the solutions to these obstacles. The main problems that bother the scientists are as follows-
- Inconsistent quantity of hair- Some successful generation of hairs has happened by the injection of dermal papilla cells but how far away be successful it doubted by the scientists.
- It is very much difficult to has the differentiation of the cultured cells. Those dermal cells which are created in the culture environment perhaps have not its genetic one features after extraction is done.
- Hair alignment- After the formation of the hair follicle its alignment is also that is making the scientists having tough time. It is good to consider hair the use of hair cloning but proper alignment of the hair is also needed.
The cloning of hair Process is still under observation and people are working hard with it. They hope to conquer all the limitations of this process and bring success.
