Aren't you guys being a little too optimistic?
People will be saying "Aren't you a little too optimistic?" even on the day these things are released.

Heh? If by cure you mean maintenance I can see that.
Researchers will be aiming for more than just maintenance. Neogenesis is where the bar is set now. Since the UCLA study published this summer, they think now they can activate stem cells to affect hair growth. I can imagine a treatment that will eventually come in a tube. We will slather it on our heads and wait for the new hair to grow. And people once thought that striped toothpaste was a technological marvel. Treatments are definitely on the way just a matter of when.
While I think it would be cool to be able to buy a cream you lather on your head and 7 months later boom nw7 is now John Snow, I don't know if I believe a topical will ever be able to create that many hairs or hairs at all from scratch. I do now realize striped toothpaste is common these days so a serum to induce massive follicular neogenisis by the tens of thousands has to be around the corner. We will see.Researchers will be aiming for more than just maintenance. Neogenesis is where the bar is set now.

I seriously doubt that topical drugs alone will ever be able to cure hairloss.
Or at least, if they ever will — I'll be so f*****g old it's irrelevant to my life. It's literally about regenerating organs, tiny ones; and the technology to do that with JUST a topical drug is a long way off.
The first 3 breakthrough treatments coming are:
1. Follica
2. Kerastem
3. Replicel
If Kerastem produces good positive results I will definitely use it in conjunction with Replcel and/or Tsuji because it could reduce the problem of continued hair loss even after Replcel's treatment or Tsuji's treatment. Remember that fat reduction is involved in hair loss and if you get Tsuji or Replicel your fat layer will continue to shrink as you age so you will continue to lose hair. I understand that both Replicel and Tsuji have plans to eliminate the risk of continued losses after you get their treatments but adding some fat via Kerastem could also help protect the hair we have and the hair we get from Tsuji and Replicel. In this case, there's no such thing as too much protection. Better safe than sorry.
You really have a kerastem problem
Can't think of injecting fat could be the solution to regrowth. There are several results in Europe that prove it ain't working and I really don't think that these were so much worse than a Doctor in the USA and the FDA won't change much more.Specifically, what would that problem be?
A topically applied drug is looking good as the first real treatment for Alopecia Areata.
Clinical trials using a cocktail of drugs to re-grow hair-like structures in human cochlea are just months away.
It is not a question of if drugs will be used to treat hair loss, hearing loss and more, but when will they be discovered?
Almost monthly, someone announces new research findings of the hair follicle. Using two new drugs, they can now activate stem cells to induce hair growth.
Neogenesis is where the bar has always been set newbie.
They just haven't been able to achieve it yet is all.
And Alopecia Areata is a different problem from Androgenetic Alopecia
Areata patients still have their hair follicles.
and I hope they succeed so I can get rid of my tinnitus.
as they have been doing on lab rats who do not have Androgenetic Alopecia for decades now and they try and fail to apply it to humans who do have Androgenetic Alopecia.
Personally, I think if a topical formula for hair regeneration is ever possible, it will only come after therapy like hair multiplication or wounding neogenesis is a common, well-understood procedure and the formula contains nanomachines, son — but that's a long way off.
AA and Androgenetic Alopecia are both considered non scarring alopecias.
They've been engineering mice to have Androgenetic Alopecia, AA and a number of other human diseases for a while now. Mice are the most cost effective test lab animals with over 100 years of research data on record.
Two new drugs are now patented as a result.
Woah there slow down my friend you realize how fast you were going? I just want to say 5 words to you just real quick take a seat are you listening? One and a half weeks... thats how long this lactate hype trains been running. The cars are still brand new all the conducters we have on rotation are still feeling the gears out we are experimenting with it because we dont know exactly what its going to do yet. I do think it's a very interesting discovery and its really coo and all but let's set the cruise to school district and be cautious.Newbie McGuire: I just want to say one word to you. Just one word. Are you listening?
Lactate.

I am curious about this one also which are these? how much hair? What?In the mean time, they are now able to activate stem cells with drugs to grow hair - without need for biopsies or elaborate stem cell expansion procedures. Two new drugs are now patented as a result.
I think that Kerastem + hair transplant should also be added to that list of possibilities for the near future.
I did not say that gene editing would be available for hair loss in 4 years. I said it would be availalbe 3 - 4 years after Tsuji. Tsuji is about 2 1/2 years away plus 3 to 4 years = 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 years to gene editing to cure hair loss.
