I am a student who is doing some research on biocompatible protein polymers
and baldness in men and women. So far no one has been able to answer my
research question. As you know, biocompatible polymer protein synthesis is an
expanding field, and I was now wondering if it could possibly help baldness
in men and women. If a poly-hair, made of these polymers, could be
implanted under the scalps skin, where tissue would grow to it, anchoring it like
real hair, would there be a rejection factor to contend with? Biocompatible
polymers are used in operations and for years women have received breast
implants, now the bio-chip uses polymers to anchor it under the skin, so it doesn't
move about! Once anchored the hair would remain for life. The problem with
present day hair transplantation is usually the donor area is not sufficient
to cover the top of the head to a desired thickness. This could possible
solve that problem! I have asked some poly tech firms on line, some nurses and
doctors on line, with no luck, or they admitted they didn't know the answer!
thanks for your time
