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 Dennis Berube
