The hair follicle is a highly complex appendage of the skin containing a multiplicity of cell types. The follicle undergoes constant cycling through the life of the organism including growth and resorption with growth dependent on specific stem cells. The targeting of the follicle by genes and stem cells to change its properties, in particular, the nature of the hair shaft is, discussed. Hair follicle delivery systems are described, such as liposomes and viral vectors for gene therapy. The nature of the hair follicle stem cells is discussed, in particular, its pluripotency.

Has any progress been made regarding the production  of a product for the cosmetic market returning grey hair to original colouring as reported in the press some time ago?

Hair follicle is a part of the skin from where the old hairs can regrow. Electrolysis and Laser hair restoration are techniques to restore the hair on balding areas. The average growth rate of healthy hair follicles on the scalp is 400 micrometer per day.

Here is my question- Once we do this technique in human beings, say for suppose to modify the skin colour, how long it is going to stay with the patient? Another question- won't be the viral harmful for the patient. ?

--Many thanks,
Bipasha
