If Shiseido can culture cells and they don't get rejected why can't Stemson or Tsuji? Rejection is not even on the table. Funding doesn't seem to be an issue for Stemson, perhaps for some of the others. This will resolve itself as success of one company brings more investment to the space
How close are we to FUE using hair cloning?

Since you brought up Tsuji, I got another roadblock. Affordability.
Not a problem for me

Hairclone, Replicel, Follicum are probably gonna be failures as well. You're cherry picking negativity, not every hair loss company will be successful. Is Tsuji going to be unaffordable for the majority? Of course. But you need to dig yourself out of your negative hole and learn to be objective instead of wallowing over useless companies 20 years ago. Look at Stemson, Epibiotech, Yokohoma etc and the science and funding behind them and especially the improved technology. Be a man.

It will be for most hair loss sufferers. I think a bigger discovery would be the prevention of scar tissue. The reason why people don't transplant all the hair on the sides to the top is the scarring. Otherwise you could just move the usual number of grafts for hairline and midscalp and then really move hair to the crown without concern about scars and do a bald fade.
Stemson is funded by Allergan. If what they have works they will not face any funding constraints.
How is affordability a roadblock? If it exists it exists, the cost of it is irrelevant at that point. We're debating when the science will be a commercial reality, whether that costs 7 figures or 4.
In addtion, Stemson's goal is to have the process costing around 10k;
"We're inventing as we go," says Hamilton. "We're making up the path ahead of us as we go." Eventually, they say the cost of the new cells will be similar to the cost of hair transplant surgery now, which can run upwards of $10,000.

If you were to touch a piece of carbon fiber or insulation and get grafts into your hand, is scarring a concern? Stemson's cloning scaffolds are 2mm long and a fraction of a mm wide. This is nothing comparable to a normal transplant, slits don't even have to be made for the tissue like a normal transplant, the scaffold can just be put into the skin because they don't have functioning hair follicles in them yet.

That's what I'm saying stemson shows a lot of promise, the end of this year should be interesting in terms of what news they have for us.
10k$ for a full head of hair?????

Why are you on a hair loss forum when all you are negative and pessimistic? https://www.10news.com/news/local-news/la-jolla-lab-creating-cure-for-baldness

Okay then leave the site and don't bother finding out about future solutions. I am genuinely shocked as to how many people keep saying the EXACT SAME thing over and over again, "oh I'm a realist" "What about Intercytex?" "We should've gotten a cure by now" "This is 20 years away". Why do you people give a d*mn then? Leave and shave your head bald and move on. You're wasting your time reading and writing information that is literally uninformative and repetitive, absolutely 0 CONTRIBUTION to anything useful. You should open your own website where you guys talk about how "we are doomed, and I'm a realist". A literal waste of time. And you in particular froggy since I've joined the forum, have said/provided absolutely nothing useful, always with the childish questions, "Are hair follicles DHT resistant?" "I'm not going to pay that much" "I'm a realist" "How do you know it will cost that much?". Let me ask you, have you cited any links or updates on newfound science on hair loss? What contribution have you made to the people on this site?

if their hair cloning works, paradoxically, people who are completely bald will have better hair because they will get their dream hair, and what if someone has bends or baldness in a manner typical for women, i.e. from the top of the head?

That is true that not everyone is a NW7 and will not need an extensive amount of work done but people who are Norwood 3 or people even with Norwood 1 might still want to utilize this to either get better hair than they currently have or do not have a good enough donor supply for the future. People will slowly stop having hair transplants and go on to have hair cloning and the business will start rolling just like any other business.
if you seriously think that for $ 10k you will have a head full of youthful hair then congratulations on your naivety for me the only credible news are photos of people before and after hair cloning I know that in a few months you will be getting excited about a pig with a few new hair, this research is about collecting money and doing endless research on the very marketable problem of people - baldness, man, get down to earth you and your optimists - no one will make you new hair you have what you have such a life such genes
