The Leading International Companies In The Development Of Baldness Treatment

The big issue here is cancer because basically they are reprogramming skin cells to turn into DP cells, the process is not efficient and the reprogrammed cells could end up being cancerous. This is the big issue with ips cells but apparently the risks can now be controlled and hence the long research needed so I would not get too excited, it's the standard 5-10 years scenario but I'm positive we will get there in the end with this kind of therapy.

There are good techniques today for controlling tumors in iPSCs. But, I agree. There should be done more research in future.

For example:
Tumour resistance in induced pluripotent stem cells derived from naked mole-rats

It's just a bit depressing, that we will be the last generation wasting their 20's and early 30's with fighting against hairloss instead of living the best time of life. But at the end it's a very nice science work and everybody of us will be happy with his nice hairs in some years. Even 50 year old guys want to have hairs, because the look allways matter when you're into it.

When I was 18, I thought I don't care about my look at 28. Now I'm 28 and I bet I will still care about my look at 38.

Why not live your life anyways?

I must be a weird life to live, where you are so dependant on your hair to be able to life you live or not?

What is it that you CAN'T do when you are bald? Can't to go scuba diving, sky diving, travel around the world, maintain a job, get an education.

What is it that baldness prevent you from doing exactly ?

Why not just use hair cells instead of reprogramming blood cells?

If you entirely believed that attitude then you wouldn't be here.

Difficult to get pussy I think

Why not?

I still do the things I did before my hairloss.

I'm here to see what there is out there on the market that makes sense.

But i don't have a need to hide myself in a cave and feel sorry for myself because of my hairloss. People limiting them self and telling its because of the hairloss, won't get better selfconfidence even if they got more hair, then the next thing they would blame would be the food because it makes them fat, or the social status or what ever.

Instead of making excuses then why not do the best with what you already have.

Sure you can, but it's just not the same and that's the reason why this board even exists. You have to adjust your attitude to your look else you're a a weird creep.

Example:
Imaging a guy NW0 walking down the street drunk as f*** and goes to sleep on a bench.
Normal Reaction: This guy just having a good day, I bet he is a funny guy.

Now imaging a guy NW4 walking down the street drunk as f*** and goes to sleep on a bench.
Normal Reaction: What a loser, he has to get his life under control, he is no teen anymore.

its a weird comparison. I don't see that many people on benches but i wouldn't really care so much about it i guess.

The point is that if you got a sh*t personality now, that won't help with more hair later. People would still think the same of you.

So if people don't like you know as you are now, then the chances for it would change with more hair on the head is fairly small to non-existent that they would like you more because of more hair.

And that is what people need to realize. a full head of hair doesn't make you rich and famous and gets you knighted at the Queen the next day.

Life is just easier when you look good, trustworthy and healthy. And your Hairs play a role in this game. Even with a sh*t personality, you're just "confident, straight, doesn't give a f***" with NW0 and a "shitty idiot" with NW4. Of course a good look isn't everything in life, but it is something in life. And if you deny it, we have just different lifestyles.

 

[Joxy]

Here we go again. Guys, please shut the f*** up! Please open private chat and there complain how life is cruel and how you will had sex with Taylor Swift just if you were NW0. This thread is dedicated only for science informations.

This article is about Stemson.
Idea of making new hair follicles out of stem cells. Potentially unlimited replicating new hair follicles. IPSC technology. Unfortunately this is just a start-up company. It’s just a theory at this point. Clinical tests have NOT started. It has a tie to Allergan. So as we know FDA approval is key; we are many years away from even preliminary results.

Interesting post from folliclethought

“FT, I’m going to do something I haven’t done on this site and that is shoot from the hip. My comments are by no means a reflection of your work which as always is impeccable. However, with out doubt any country besides Japan are minimum 20 years away from any hair loss cure. Why? Japan have the legislation in place and are a rapidly decreasing population that needs stem cell regenerative medicine to work to keep their existing population going. So for them it isn’t about profits it’s about preservation. This might not be what people want to hear but hair cloning (Dr Tsuji) is nothing more than a stepping stone to cloning more significant organs such as the liver. The UK is the next best placed due to the more relaxed laws around stem cell therapy but there is clearly not the appetite other than Hairclone to do something in this area in the UK. When a company puts the face of the office pretty girl to the presentation it immediately lacks credibility in my eyes. This woman isn’t even on the ‘our team’ section of their site. These companies/research teams are nothing more than glorified proof of concept companies/research teams looking for a sugar daddy to buy their concept. If you take Dr Christiano who everybody on hair loss forums goes nuts about, she creates a theory around JAK inhibitors, sells it to Aclaris and then very quickly after this sets up Rapunzel with a brand new theory. If another company offers her a shed load of cash she will sell that and create another theory. These companies/research teams don’t have the means or intention of seeing their research through to a market release. 3D scaffolding is a concept already being used by other companies and the prospect of taking stem cells from one human to create hair follicles to put into another is utter nonsense. This is light years away and should not even be mentioned at this time. The only reason it is is to create false hype. I have seen research around taking stem cells from a sibling to potentially treat Alopecia Areata but from a completely unrelated person is nonsense. This is not about being negative or positive or even medically qualified to comment, it’s about being realistic. I applaud you FT for bringing these companies to our attention because I think it actually highlights how unrealistic a hair loss cure is. If Dr Tsuji does not come to fruition the prospect of turning a norwood 7 into a norwood 1 for people around my age (37) we may never live to see it unless someone stumbles across something. At best treatments that are slightly better than minoxidil await those whose have some hair to improve. I’m sorry for the rant but it is just my opinion.“

So sad yet so true

NO HAIR = sh*t LOOKS = LOW CONFIDENCE = DEPRESSION = etc...

It's just a bit depressing, that we will be the last generation wasting their 20's and early 30's with fighting against hairloss instead of living the best time of life.

No worries, that is what they said two generations ago as well.
