community The pessimism about the Crisp Cas 9 is excessive

12 upvotes 11 months ago

CRISPR Cas9 could potentially treat baldness by targeting specific genes in hair follicles without affecting other body functions. There is optimism about its future use, despite ethical concerns and the current reliance on treatments like minoxidil and finasteride.

community CRISPR Is Curing People Right Now. Genetic Hair Loss is Next?

112 upvotes 1 year ago

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 DHT is making fun of you, let's not suffer!

17 upvotes 11 months ago

DHT negatively affects scalp hair while promoting body hair growth, causing frustration due to the lack of permanent solutions for baldness. Users discuss treatments like finasteride and potential future solutions like CRISPR technology.

community How do you think Shah Rukh Khan maintains his full head of hair at 60?

453 upvotes 9 months ago

Shah Rukh Khan's hair at 60 is attributed to genetics, with speculation about using finasteride, minoxidil, or hair transplants. Some believe it's due to good genes, while others think he might use treatments or have had hair procedures.

community My Delusional Hope - This page becomes irrelevant in 2030s

54 upvotes 10 months ago

People are hopeful for a permanent hair loss solution by the 2030s, considering options like hair cloning and treatments like pp405. Synthetic hair transplants have been attempted but are not effective long-term.
