Finasteride can work for years.
Stemson is going to use minipigs in the next stage of their hair cloning research
- Thread starter werefckd
- Start date
ES cells are derived from early human embryos. It's taboo and there is heavy regulation on its use, some American states even outright banned it.
On the other hand, iPS cells works the same and you get get them via your own blood or skin. Much easier to do research and scale the treatments with them.
Dr. Terskikh briefly talks about that topic in this short interview: https://www.sbpdiscovery.org/news/beaker-blog/sbps-alexey-terskikh-advances-hair-growth-research
They didn't say it won't be either. So we don't know.

Well, you are gloomy. <winks> But facts is facts....
Good news for Stemson, this company that is developing a technology to automate and scale the generation of iPS cells just announced a relatively big seed round ($16 million) to develop their tech. Basically, this tech would make the Stemson treatment more cheaper, reliable, and faster.

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) are derived from skin or blood cells that have been reprogrammed so they revert to an embryonic-like pluripotent state; pluripotency enables the cell to develop into any type of human cell, meaning they are fantastic for therapeutic purposes. iPSCs can be triggered to become beta islet cells for diabetes treatment, or neurons for neurological treatment or blood cells, in order to generate new cancer-free blood for leukaemia sufferers.
However, scientists usually have to go through the labour-intensive process of inspecting iPSCs in order to manually weed out ones deemed to be of lower quality. Cellino’s platform could be set to change all that.
Cellino is developing an automated process to generate autologous iPSCs at scale, using machine-learning algorithms to train software to identify both low- and high-quality cells. The software then controls a laser to destroy the unwanted cells. The proprietary platform converges breakthrough technologies across optics, biology and machine learning to engineer high functionality cells with high levels of consistency and yield.
Cellino plans to use this seed financing to scale up this technology, automating and standardising autologous stem cell production, and thereby accelerating the development of life-saving and life-extending therapies for patients.

It would take a lot of the pressure and hard-decision making out of the hair recovery process but probably not the cost.
Will hair now become more like veneer on teeth in this scenario cause lots of folks could have a much nicer smile and they do nothing to improve their teeth. It will be like, "you are going bald". "Oh, yeah, I have been meaning to take care of that but with all of the hassles at work, you know, someday...."

Same here. Father's 83 and still has grrrr Ronald Reagan hair. My mother wears her hair long at 80 like she always did so so much for genetics. I agree 100 percent about mental health. I wanted to get involved because hair dysphoria is so much like gender dysphoria in general. For me, there really was no separation between hair and gender since in my mind, I was androgynous/non-binary.
I had been doing great with the gals, lol, until that fateful moment that destroyed my life, well almost. New Generation and then Rogaine saved me and just in the nick of time!
Nice find, and great news for us if they decide to collaborate. One of the things keeping me up thinking is how the heck they can cure us all even after the cure is discovered, considering how labor intensive the procedure is.Good news for Stemson, this company that is developing a technology to automate and scale the generation of iPS cells just announced a relatively big seed round ($16 million) to develop their tech.

When we go in for Covid19 vaccinations, maybe we could pay for an upgrade?

You mean the webinar being a lie? Lol
Alsl whats a PR lie.
Sorry for the questions, not very acknowleged at this point.
Ah, thought it was for the average interested person. Well it's probably too late now.
Doesn't seem like it at this point.
Anyone else checking Stemson’s site every day to see if the histotechnician role has been filled? I know I am even though it makes little difference.
Do you guys think that if Stemson actually comes out with a cure, huge companies will jump in and massively accelerate commercialization, or they're going to be proceeding as a tiny team of a few people, curing maybe 10 people a day?

It depends on your criteria for what a cure is. For me, if any hair cloning solution works it would effectively be a cure. We won't get our childhood density back or an amazing hairline, they might grown in random directions and be too thin/think but we wouldn't have to worry about looking like a doofus against a strong gust. Not having to worry about my hair and being able to blend in as a normal person is all I really want.
