5 / 1000+ resultscommunity How soon is hair clone? Next five years?!
Hair cloning is humorously discussed as always being 5-7 years away, with skepticism about its near-term availability. Gene editing to reactivate dormant follicles is suggested as a more likely solution within the next ten years.
community Researchers working on ways to regenerate lost hair from stem cells identified a recipe for normal hair regeneration in the lab. “A method for cyclical regeneration of hair follicles from hair follicle stem cells and will help make hair follicle regeneration therapy a reality in the near future.”
Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hair transplants have side effects and limitations. There is hope for future advancements in stem cell therapy and hair follicle regeneration, though skepticism about their effectiveness and timeline persists.
community When are we getting a cure to hair loss?
Potential treatments for hair loss, including Minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841 and various upcoming pharmaceuticals, gene editing and cloning. It is suggested that a cure, if found, would be highly profitable due to the large number of people affected by hair loss globally.
community Summary of future treatments from 2020
Hair loss treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, microneedling, dutasteride, CB-03-01, RU-58841, and experimental options like KY-19382 and stem cell therapy. Some treatments are considered ineffective or risky, such as ketoconazole, PRP, and low-level laser therapy.
community How do we only have two treatments to combat hair loss at this point in time?
The post discusses frustration over the limited and not always effective treatments for hair loss, mainly Minoxidil and Finasteride. The conversation includes mentions of potential new treatments like GT20029, HMI-115, CosmeRNA, KX-826, and microneedling, but also highlights the challenges of funding and prioritizing research in this area.
