If you were going bald, would you get neck cell transplants to help you grow more hair?

A treatment for baldness that removes hair follicles from the back of the neck for reimplanting on the top of the head is to be developed with a £1.85m government grant. A biotechnology firm based in Cambridge and Manchester has tested the technique and is now working on a robotic system for growing the dermal papilla cells and then injecting them back on to the scalp to induce new growth. Intercytex's treatment, which involves a half hour operation, could be used on women with alopecia as well as on men with male pattern baldness.
