The Problems with Hair Cloning

 There are many problems with hair cloning but the main problem is the ability to perform a specialized function, like producing a hair. Fibroblast is a certain cell in the skin which is around the base of the hair follicle. These cells are multiplied, and injected into the skin. Then there is a chance hair will start producing, but the problem is that when these cells are multiplied in culture, they tend to lose the ability to multiply. There are a number of methods being used to try to keep these cells multiplying. One is to change the spatial relationship of multiplying cells. Another is inserting new genes into the cell’s nucleus to alter the expression of the existing genes.  Skin is composed of 2 principal components- Epithelial and Mesenchimal. The hair follicle is the final result of a complex interaction between these 2 tissues. One cannot comprehend the complexity of molecular signaling between the cells which interact to form a hair. Scientists are still far from disclosing all the mechanisms governing hair follicle development.
