GlossaryInduced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPS cells)

cells reprogrammed from adult cells to an embryonic-like state

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) are a type of stem cell that scientists create by reprogramming adult cells, such as skin or blood cells, to revert to an embryonic-like state. This process allows these cells to potentially develop into any type of cell in the body, making them valuable for research, regenerative medicine, and disease modeling.

community Dr. Tsuji and Riken to make important announcement on their hair cloning cure on Feb 10th.

in Update 56 upvotes 3 years ago

Dr. Tsuji and Riken announced a hair cloning cure with a 98.9% success rate, expected to be released in 10 years. Users expressed hope and skepticism about the affordability and timeline of the treatment.

community Is there any word on when Stempsen Therapeutics and Hairclone will start phase 1 clinical trials?

in Research/Science 6 upvotes 2 years ago

Hair cloning trials by Stempsen Therapeutics and Hairclone have no updates, and it may take at least 15 years for hair cloning to be available. The conversation also mentions treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.

community Prediction: Scube3 is never coming out

in Research/Science 7 upvotes 10 months ago

Scube3, a potential hair loss treatment, is unlikely to be released because it was given to a startup company, Amplifica, which may go bankrupt and fail to bring the treatment to market. Amplifica is prioritizing other treatments over Scube3, which could lead to financial loss and the end of Scube3's development.
