How soon is hair clone? Next five years?! Research/Science 6/24/2024
Hair cloning is humorously discussed as always being 5-7 years away, with skepticism about its near-term availability. Gene editing to reactivate dormant follicles is suggested as a more likely solution within the next ten years.

Stemson Therapeutics has shut down, disappointing those seeking a hair loss cure. Current treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride are discussed, with some users experiencing side effects and exploring alternatives like PP405.
community UCLA scientists found a molecule — PP405 — that wakes up sleeping hair follicles and tells them, “Do your job.”
PP405 is a promising molecule that may reactivate dormant hair follicles, potentially offering a new treatment for hair loss. It is in phase 2 trials, with possible availability between 2027 and 2030.
community We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.
A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.
community Potential ( but not yet confirmed ) pp405 leak through korean media.
A peptide-based hair loss treatment, PP405, reportedly increased hair density by 62% in 90 days, but these claims are unverified and met with skepticism. Users compared PP405 to Minoxidil and Finasteride, expressing doubts about its effectiveness without more evidence.
community I believe CRISPR-on & CRISPR-off is an ultimate CURE for baldness, unlike Hair Cloning or hair loss treatments.
The conversation discusses CRISPR-on & CRISPR-off as a potential cure for baldness, contrasting it with hair cloning and other treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. It also mentions the potential of mRNA for gene expression control and the prioritization of gene editing for severe genetic conditions.
