Lol none of that can cause male pattern baldness, some of it can cause hair loss.
How Long Until A "cure" Or Full Reversal Treatment?

Well, if you pluck a telogen hair, it will go into anagen faster than it would otherwise but really just replace the plucked hair. So no net gain.
That's called "traction alopecia" as I recall. A temporary hell.
Compared to male pattern baldness's permanent hell.

The cure will only come once we're able to create a self learning A.I. that can create programs and multiply itself in a closed environment to do the research for us, maybe using quantum computers for calculations. This may seem like science-fiction but is less so than thinking that Tsuji's will be out in 2020.
All treatments are flawed because they don't stop hair loss from progressing, cloning DHT resistant follicles is really the only true cure.

Hahaha man.. probability that tsuji will be out in 2020 is atleast 10 bigger than probability that we will have AGI before 2030

Yep. And time is running out for some of us older guys. Ironically, when I'm in my grave, what little hair I did have will still be on me, waiting, on my decomposed body, and the hope passing into oblivion.

Isn't that essentially what he's doing? I have retrograde bad I've been lazy and haven't shaved my head in a month and I looked in the mirror this morning and I look diseased lol. I don't even know if cloning will help out in this situation who knows what hairs are resistant.

That's how bad I think we have it with these hair loss researchers, it's just too slow.

That is way further ahead than tsuji. While I am skeptical that tsuji will come in 2020 he already has a working model. We are very far away to creating what you said.
I don't believe the second part. If we understand what makes some peoples follicles dht resistant maybe we can replicate that. IIRC brotzu being a vascular surgeon believed (at least in the begining) that hairloss is mainly a circulation problem. Fullheads have better circulation hence why they keep their hair. To put it simply better circulation means that dht and all other things which cause your follicles to shrink don't have that effect on you, or with better circulation come other things which makes your hair less susceptible to dht like more oxygen or something.(this is purely speculative btw). Makes sense in a way to me considering that to most Androgenetic Alopecia sufferers it's the hair in the top of the scalp who usually falls and it isn't strange to think that blood has a tougher job to get at the top of the scalp in confront with other areas. This is only a halfassed theory, but I said it just to show that making your current hair immune is not an unthinkable idea. Maybe tsuji will come before this so it won't be needed who knows.
And now I have an idea, some brave soul should try to experiment in staying upside down for some months and see if there is any regrowth.

Wow you solved the problem of baldness!
You do realize that staying upside down for a few minutes results in death? Your blood gets to your brain and bang you're dead.
Too late. I am already dead.
How far away is a permanent genetic cure for yellowed teeth? Or to stop armpit odor? Or to make fingernails stop growing at just the right length on their own?
We don't NEED a permanent genetic cure for hair loss. We just need a practical treatment method. We've never had anything close to it.
A practical method does not cost too much, it doesn't force you into a big inconvenient regimen, it doesn't do things like limping your dick . . . and it brings back enough lost hair to make an impact.

Bad breath, yellow teeth, and body odors actually have treatments/procedures that fixes the issue temporarily or even permanently. All can be treated very effectively both non surgically or surgically with no side effects.
Hair loss affects far more people and treatments Available barely has any effects and have potentially permanent side effects.

The main difference between fullheads and us is genetics. And the kinds of genes that make you bald on top of your head are, for the most part, the kinds of genes that give you a unibrow (or not), or control the thickness of your eyebrows. Many of them are the same kinds of genes that, in the very rare cases that they're fully mutated, will make you totally bald, give you peach fuzz all over your body, or even make you a circus freak with thick terminal hair covering all of your face. Some of the genes are also responsible for major differences in hair growth in other mammals. These are internal hair follicle genes and have nothing to do with blood flow. Besides, your "half-assed theory" was already debunked a long time ago.
Synchronous balding of scalp and hair-bearing grafts of scalp transplanted to the skin of the arm in male pattern baldness
The author transplanted composite skin grafts from balding, non-balding, and bald areas of the scalp, to the skin of the arm. The galea aponeurotica was trimmed away from the grafts. The patient was a 29-yr-old male with progresive male pattern baldness (male pattern baldness). The transplants from the balding area became bald at the same rate as the balding donor site in the receding frontal, hairline, whereas the transplants taken from the non-balding area in the occiput continued to grow the same amount and quality of terminal hairs. Bald grafts taken in front of the receding hairline remained bald. This shows that the cause of male pattern baldness lies in the follicle itself or in its very close surrounding and does not depend on the galea aponeurotica, the increased tension of the scalp or of its muscles, the diminished vascular supply to the scalp or any other regional factor localized to the head area. It also shows that the 'balding clock' keeps time even when the follicle is transplanted to another region of the body.
You think people haven't tried that already?
They're not sure why plucking in a small area of mouse skin works to grow hair, but it is hoped that understanding the signaling pathways affected by plucking might lead to discovering drugs to achieve a greater effect over larger areas than just a 6mm diameter area and without using tweezers.
Yes, and intestinal epithelial cells are also short lived at 3 to 5 days.

There could be a handful few or many genes involved in baldness. I think gene replacement or gene editing to treat baldness might be like using a transport truck to haul your groceries home. It might be entirely unnecessary if drugs can be used to affect gene transcriptions producing proteins, enzymes or whatever. A drug compound might be the most elegant solution. Breakthroughs in science sometimes happen when doing things in different ways with unpredictable results.

Yes, indeed. In physics, studies in light diffraction and well known behavior of electromagnetic properties, compounded with other observations, lead to the theory of relativity. I'm hoping that guy, like Einstein, is alive today working in genetics.
