Stemson raised $15M for haircloning, with hopes it becomes a reality in 10-20 years. Users are hopeful and discuss using Minoxidil and finasteride in the meantime.
The conversation is about disappointment with pyrilutamide's performance as a hair loss treatment, with some users expressing interest in other treatments like Verteporfin, GT20029, and RU58841, while others suggest sticking with established treatments like finasteride or dutasteride.
Haircloning updates, with potential costs ranging from $200,000 to $350,000. Clinical trials may start in 2020, and some hope for cheaper options in Turkey or China.
The conversation discusses an interview with Dr. Tsuji about hair follicle stem cell multiplication and the financial challenges of starting human clinical trials. It also mentions the need for funding to secure a patent for a protein that promotes hair growth.
