In 2008, Matt Lauer and NBC Chief Medical Editor Dr. Nancy Snyderman reported on a potential baldness ‘cure’ discovered by University of Pennsylvania Medical Center Researchers.
The new technology (Penn U) involves Stem Cells and a new Complex (not yet disclosed) that acts to generate/stimulate New (and potentially unlimited) Follicle Generation in research mice (other hair growth treatments work to stimulate growth in existing follicles, not lost follicles and cannot generate new follicles or growth once gone, and unlike other treatments, this protocol is expected to work for everyone). Human trials are expected to begin in the near future, with the treatment available, in as little as 3-5 years.--"

Although the early research seemed to indicate that hair multiplication/cloning trials were imminent, we have yet to see any firm progress in this newer technology regarding hair
restoration.
However, there are a number of methods being researched at this time and hopefully will come to fruition soon as hair multiplication would make hair restoration surgery a reality for all patients, including those who currently are not considered
as candidates for treatment due to lack of donor hair (cloning or/and multiplication would allow an infinite number of follicles to be produced including the possibility of foreign donor hair being made available to patients with total hairloss (alopecia areata, totalis, universalis, or severe injury (burns, etc.)...).
And although it seems to be taking much longer than anticipated, it does appear to be a technology worth watching as we move forward in researching all possible baldness cures.
