But like an organ transplant, without anit-rejection medication, hair follicles transplanted from one person to another will certainly be rejected. It would be interesting to learn more about this specific doctor's research and to see if his research contradicts what dozens of leading hair transplant surgeons have said regarding this topic.

The people do not have to be identical twins or even related to one another. I have been told by a retiring hair transplant expert who tried some of these surgeries that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Just as there was a learning curve for transfusing blood, there are things not understood about why hair can be transplanted sometimes from an unrelated donor, and sometimes can't even be transplanted between identical twins (possibly with the twins the bald brother had an infection that caused his original hair loss, after transplantation from his brother, his head swelled up and rejected the new hair). I have also been told that hair transplanting between people was made illegal in the United States several years ago -- so doctors no longer try it.
