      community Why did this recent research paper from professor Tsuji lab in Japan largely go unnoticed by this sub? Isn't this discovery huge? (hair cloning)

       35 upvotes 4 months ago
      A recent discovery in hair cloning identified a previously unknown cell type essential for hair follicle growth, which could potentially make lab-grown hair viable if translated to humans. However, skepticism remains due to past delays and the challenges of replicating results in humans and making the process affordable.

      community Hair follicle cloning is already possible

      in Chat  38 upvotes 1 year ago
      Hair follicle cloning is claimed to be possible but not widely available due to potential safety issues, such as cancer risks. Current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride are not effective for everyone, and there is frustration over limited access to these medications.

      community Update and new paper from Dr tsuji

       26 upvotes 7 years ago
      Hair follicle regenerative therapy is being developed, with clinical trials planned in Japan, potentially allowing for hair cloning and eliminating the need for treatments like finasteride. If successful, the treatment could be available in Japan by 2025, but widespread access and affordability may take longer.

      community Dr. Tsuji Hair Cloning Exclusive Interview

       17 upvotes 1 year ago
      Hair cloning for hair loss is unlikely to be available or affordable in the next 10 years. Current treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 are still the main options, with skepticism about new advancements.

      community Let's talk about Tsuji and Shiseido

       4 upvotes 8 years ago
      The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on Tsuji's hair cloning and Shiseido's RCH-01, with skepticism about their effectiveness on humans. It compares these to PRP, noting PRP's higher efficacy in studies.

      learn SCUBE3

      • How does SCUBE3 work on hair follicles compared to treatments like minoxidil or finasteride? Laboratory research in mice reports that SCUBE3, a protein released by dermal papilla cells, signals dormant follicles to grow through the TGF-β pathway downstream of Hedgehog; minoxidil and finasteride instead work on blood flow to the follicle and on DHT, and unlike SCUBE3 they have decades of human trial data behind them. SCUBE3 has not been tested in human clinical trials and is not available as a medicine.

      learn Hair Transplant

      Hair transplantation moves DHT-resistant follicles from a donor area (back and sides of the scalp) into thinning or bald areas. The transplanted hair is generally permanent, though surrounding native hair can keep thinning.
