If we can clone a sheep why we can't cure baldness till now Research/Science 9/19/2025
Hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and stem cell therapies exist, but a complete cure is hindered by genetic complexity and market dynamics. Cloning hair follicles is considered a potential solution, but it's currently not feasible.

Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride work but have side effects. A permanent cure is still not available due to the complexity of hair loss and limited investment.
community How far are we from a treatment better than finasteride?
Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hair loss as it blocks more of the enzyme causing hair loss. New treatments like stem cell therapies and alternatives to minoxidil are being explored, but major advancements are still years away.
community CRISPR Is Curing People Right Now. Genetic Hair Loss is Next?
CRISPR shows promise for treating hair loss by targeting specific genes. Current treatments include Minoxidil and finasteride, but CRISPR could offer a more precise solution, though it is still expensive and in early stages.
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.
community DHT Harms Scalp Microbiome: DHT Itch is REAL
Increased Malassezia and Cutibacterium in the scalp microbiome are linked to higher sebum production and inflammation in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Treatments include ciclopirox shampoo, benzoyl peroxide shampoo, clobetasol propionate, calcipotriol, minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.
