the research is not important anymore because Christiano's 3D follicle printing will not require any need for that. We just have to wait for 2040. Engineers will save the day as molecular biologists fail to make applicable use of their knowledge as usual

Right. You know more about this than people who studied It for several years.
I would rather be bald n proud and overcome my insecurities around it than cause damage n still look like a fuzzy peach with the covert name of "Mr. Floppy". Acceptance is key, I actually became a stronger person going bald. I had to take a real look at what mattered and what's important in this life and guess what, it wasn't my appearance.
The biggest problem with the hair loss experts and big pharma is they have a lot of to work with to cleverly leverage peoples emotions with the hopes of preserving their self image. Multi-Billion dollar industry that has marginal succes. Hmmmm, instead of rubbing stuff all over your heads maybe you should scratch it to see if a new thought process can be invoked. Clearly the methodology and techniques are redundantly unsuccessful. The lack of progress and the damage being caused is beyond belief. I feel for all of you in pain about losing your hair, and I can tell you that life isn't something you can control absolute. A simple suggestion, try letting go, look at you personal assets as a person and strengthen those, learn to accept what you see in the mirror. Additionally, shaving it all off was the most profound process for me because I was forced to let go of what little hair I had left.
All the best to you in this community and stop putting your hope into the hands of greedy manipulators seeking access to your pocket book. Save up and get a really good transplant or glue on wig. Take care!

Estrogen is separate from impotence and gender change although some experience impotence and some change their genders or went into this considering doing so.

Yeah but Native Americans and Siberians have even better hair on average than Asians and they don't eat soy, and live on mostly a protein diet. I do agree that there could be correlation between package size and hair loss, and for body hair as well. Baldness is a strong sexually dimorphic way of distinguishing between the sexes, as is beard growth too, among white and people of Semitic origin and testosterone level differences or up-regulation differences are likely a culprit.

In terms of marketing this is correct. Minoxidil was approved with prescription around 1986, 1987 and of course, it would go on to be otc. Finasteride in my recollection became known around 1997 and you still need a prescription but they are easy to get. I do agree with Knemo's basic point. We used polysorbates in the early to mid-80's until Rogaine came out. Things were bleak before polysorbates.

People get transplants, their hair still falls out, and they still have to go on meds. I think it'll be 2046 before they can give you a full head of hair out of nothing for a reasonable price. Estrogen is important in the male body, that's why you can't just use any steroid for trt. You need some to aromatize into estrogen or you get sides. To much also sides.

Transplant work well for one group, those who have fringe hair that is maintained in terms of quality and which extends high up on the scalp. Even 40 years ago, such folks could get amazing results from transplants. Some people heal really well and don't scar but probably most scar. I think that the plucked hair studies provide some insight as to which transplant methods work best and it probably isn't the one used most often.

'Ectopic calcification and bone: a comparison of the effect of dietary carbohydrates, sugars and protein. [2014]
[...]
A diet high in carbohydrates appears to increase ectopic calcification, particularly in magnesium deficiency, although the effect of carbohydrate and fibre on bone in humans is unclear but appears to be consistently more detrimental than a high protein diet. [...]
Whereas a high carbohydrate diet can increase ectopic calcification, a diet high in protein may inhibit it, possibly through induction of IGF-1.'
Balding is worse that being bald. You guys gotta live your lives overcoming insecurities and being confident. Baldness isn't a reason to morn forever.
I had hopes in a cure before, but now, if a cure is to be released, I probably won't hear about it from here, but from the news. BTW, this is a practical "cure":
2020: finasteride + hair transplant
No impotence, I assure you.

Except, out of all of those, estrogen in combination with minoxidil (oral preferably) is the only cure.

I don't know about priceless, if I were offered $100,000 or a dreamy hairline I think I'd take the hundred grand.
Great, the less people trying to get their treatment, the less waiting line it will have for the people who wants
If their treatment gets me back to Norwood 1 with original density I wouldn't mind at all doing touch up sessions every 5 years or so.

This is true, I was simply trying to add to the fact that it's so far out for average person. I'll be retired by the time things become available.
100K ? well, at least that's not a heart transplant

Health Insurance
Health insurance protects you and your family against financial calamity when you become ill. From health to dental to Medicare and Medicaid, learn how health insurance works and which companies are the best.
That figure was originally thrown by me in another thread. I got there by considering a procedure of 20,000+ implanted "cloned" follicular units (a huge number, enough to transform a shiny NW6-7 bald into a Cristiano Ronaldo with ultra density and perfect hairline). And that each FU would cost $20.
A more reasonable assumption is that most people will go for 10,000 FUs at most (more than 3x the average hair transplant restoration and more than enough to give mind blowing results) and that it will cost say $4 per FU to have its stem cells "cloned" and grouped and more $4 per FU to be implanted by the doctor, totaling $8 per FU. In that case the restoration would cost around $80K.
