Stemson is going to use minipigs in the next stage of their hair cloning research
- Thread starter werefckd
- Start date
The price of the cure will be greatly more which most people won't be able to afford anyway, they will still make more money of treatments than a cure because unlike a cure which is once off treatment approximately, a treatment is reused on a regular basis for years and generations are using it. Constant flow of money for a low hanging fruit.
finasteride or minoxidil doesn't lose effect. What happens is that your hair follicles begin more sensitive to DHT
And off the 70 million only around approximately 1% would be available able to afford the cure and only about half that 1% will be experiencing hairloss, and only about half of that if not much less, approximately, would be willing to pay exorbitant prices for hair.

good point Micky
The same applies to Finasteride & Minoxidil. They cost enough to price out millions of men around the world. But there is still a market for them.
Finasteride cuts into the business for other regrowth drugs like Minoxidil, by dramatically slowing/stopping loss. It didn't stop Finasteride from being released & marketed as a hair loss drug. And they didn't make any of the existing drugs stupid-expensive for rich men only. Because that's not how things work in real life.

Indeed. If they want to scale this therapy up and bring it to the market, it wouldn't make a lot of sense to bring it up only for the richest of the rich. They already said that they are examining ways to SCALE this up for everyone fighting hair loss. Tho this does not mean that you can access it easily, the night it is on the market lol.
Just saying.
for now, let them successfully complete the preclinical studies
You can't compare Finasteride and Minoxidil to a hair loss cure cost. Their exponentially less expensive than a cure.
Also, most people can afford either Finasteride or Minoxidil, its still relatively very low cost, which is why there's hundreds of millions of people using both.
Good for Yokohama, cloning technology is out there now, number of companies trying hair cloning should grow, we can't rely on one or two, Stemson is too slow.
How is Yokohama different from Tsuji or Stemson? it's too late for beautiful hair for us, we just came too early into this world, all good things will pass us by
They need to refine it, but cloning works on pigs and should work on humans, if there were no regulations they could probably transplant it to humans already.
If they could make HUMAN hair grow on mouse in 2012 already, they could transplant it on humans in 2013 if there were no stupid regulations which slows things down. Hair was first cloned and grown on mouse in 2012, and now we have to wait till 2032 for Stemson to hit the market.
20 wasted years because of dumb regulations.
HUMAN hair growing on a mouse in 2012, just take this damn hair and transplant it on human scalp ffs.
