How soon is hair clone? Next five years?! Research/Science 6/24/2024
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.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Horrible news, Stemson Therapeutics has shut down
Stemson Therapeutics has shut down, disappointing those seeking a hair loss cure. Current treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride are discussed, with some users experiencing side effects and exploring alternatives like PP405.
community UCLA scientists found a molecule — PP405 — that wakes up sleeping hair follicles and tells them, “Do your job.”
PP405 is a promising molecule that may reactivate dormant hair follicles, potentially offering a new treatment for hair loss. It is in phase 2 trials, with possible availability between 2027 and 2030.
community Some common misconceptions about why there have been no breakthroughs in treatments for so long and why a one and done cure is almost impossible.
Developing new hair loss treatments is challenging due to the complexity and cost of trials, and a permanent cure is unlikely soon. Current treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are used continuously because hair loss is progressive, and future possibilities include gene editing and hair cloning.
community Cure/better treatment options in the future
The conversation is about future hair loss treatments. Current treatments mentioned include finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841, with potential future treatments like GT20029, TDM-105795, JW0061, and follicle cloning.
community I believe CRISPR-on & CRISPR-off is an ultimate CURE for baldness, unlike Hair Cloning or hair loss treatments.
The conversation discusses CRISPR-on & CRISPR-off as a potential cure for baldness, contrasting it with hair cloning and other treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. It also mentions the potential of mRNA for gene expression control and the prioritization of gene editing for severe genetic conditions.
