    GlossaryReproductive Cloning

    process creating genetically identical organism via somatic cell transfer

    Reproductive cloning is a process used to create an organism that is genetically identical to another existing or previously existing organism. This is typically achieved through a technique called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), where the nucleus of a somatic cell is transferred into an enucleated egg cell, which is then stimulated to develop into an embryo and implanted into a surrogate mother. This method has been famously used to clone animals like Dolly the sheep.

      The conversation suggests that people should consult a dermatologist to understand their type of hair loss before starting treatments like finasteride or dutasteride, especially if they have autoimmune issues or low DHT. Some participants believe in starting treatment like finasteride immediately if hair loss is due to DHT, while others recommend ruling out other causes and considering minoxidil first, especially for younger individuals.
