4 / 1000+ resultscommunity 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 Hair follicle neogenesis
A user plans to experiment with creating new hair follicles using methods like derma rolling, applying lithium chloride, tannic acid, and various other substances including caffeine, ketoconazole, and raspberry ketones. They also consider using anti-inflammatories, immunosuppressants, and DHT inhibitors to potentially improve results.
community Why not move miniaturized hair follicles somewhere else to treat them? Alternative to hair cloning?
Exploring the idea of transplanting miniaturized hair follicles to healthier areas to potentially reverse hair loss, with concerns about DHT sensitivity and scar tissue formation. The conversation also humorously considers using mice for hair growth experiments.
community Chinese reseachers successfully create hair follicles in-vitrofor autologous transplantation in vivo
Chinese researchers have successfully created hair follicles in vitro, potentially offering unlimited hair for transplantation and a cure for hair loss. They plan to test these follicles in vivo on human scalps.
