How close are we to a cure?

these companies should take it step by step and find something that at least stops hairloss better than finasteride. at least then we can go out and get hair transplant instead of waiting until like 40 to see the extent of our loss. that would solve the problem for the majority of balding guys. instead they are all trying to find regrowth cures which so far have all failed hard and during that time we are getting balder and balder

Thats only assuming finding a way to halt loss takes less time. In reality, the FDA will screw you over just as badly doing one or the other. Might as well go all out and just find the cure. Although as far as I know, Aderans was able to halt further loss... we all know what the corporate pigs did to the company though.

thats true but logically preventing existing hair from miniaturising should be easier than sprouting hair on scalp that has been bald for some time

I'm sick and tired of constantly clicking click-bait articles with titles like "Cure for male pattern baldness closer Scientists find"

Not only is it mentally taxing but it's eating up my time when it could be used to come to terms with this genetic death sentence.

If Histogen and Replicel fail, I'm done. No more. Zilch. Nada. I will succumb to this disease with bitter resignation.

I'll probably marry some fat obese whale who lived her life as a c*m-dumpster because of these ****ing feminists who ruined it for us with their unrealistic standards of men.

Hypergamous sl*ts!

Any comments on MDV3100??
I have read it degrades the androgen receptor so how about using it topically.

Never stoop that low. At least go for a thin c*m-dumpster.

This is a very unrealistic approach to curing baldness, it will be very expensive and will still involve having a transplant. I can just see someone mixing up the mice used in the lab and someone getting the wrong follicles. "But Doctor, you put in red hair and I am a blonde".

Anyone considered donating to form an independent research lab and really hammer into this issue? I mean deeply. From EVERY POSSIBLE ANGLE. Tons of bloodwork from tons of people with varying conditions or lack thereof in every different demographic and cross reference all data. The DHT KILLS FOLLICLES thing is obviously an incomplete picture of whats going on. Whats worse is that it is used as a blanket conclusion for MOST men experiencing hairloss.

I thought about starting a kickstarter with a goal of 100 mil to do this once and for all. But I guess in the bottom of my heart I dont believe enough people give enough of a f*ck to see it succeeding so I havnt tried. Just wondering if anyone else has had similiar thoughts.

I had a good theory. I believe. That maybe its just evolution. Throughout time humans have had less and less body hair. And maybe this is just the way it is supposed to happen. Still not happy with that idea. But maybe anyone balding is just more evolutionary advanced (;

From an evolutionary perspective, it's difficult to see how baldness matters much.

During most of human history, the past 2 million years, life expectancy for men was ~33. So baldness was at most a rare issue.

Aggressive research

I hope someone like ELon Musk or Bill Gates works in this particular hair loss problem. It is a billion dollar market.

Gates couldn't care less about hair loss unfortunately.

I have the firm belief that the cure (or the way to prevent baldness) is so simple and so "stupid" that all our complicated scientific minds are missing it,
Intuition over science dudes ...

thats a intriguing question altough i believe that somehow there is a way to revert Androgenetic Alopecia but its just too much expensive to be valid
not so long ago boyalife company said that they just dont clone people because they just simply dont want to. And thats a HUGE ****ing thing.

If they can clone people how they cant replicate and clone donor hair folicles?
the answer is pretty simple for me
they just dont put any work on that
the male pattern baldness for us NOW is a complex thing but everyday we know more and more about it
25 years ago we hadnt forums to see how big is the negative impact on a person in this big scale was as we see today
things are moving very fast today wouldnt surprise me if they find a cure but i dont think its comming in the next 5 years, maybe in next 10 or 20 is possible.

and funny thing, i was on a philosophy forum yesterday and saw a guy in that forum(NW1 at his 50) complaining that there is more investment on Androgenetic Alopecia research than malaria that kill thousands of people every year
my first thought was, IF this guys was a slick bald guy he definitely wasnt doing this post
my second thought was, oh, good news that Androgenetic Alopecia is getting more repercussion and more investment everyday, and thats true.
from past 50 years to today we already have potent DHT blockers, hair transplant techniques that are improving, minoxidil and upcoming things, things are evolving its a fact
and i think donor hair multiplication isnt that far too
