Human pluripotent stem cells have been used to create hair and skin, potentially offering a new solution for baldness. A user also mentioned starting finasteride but experiencing unexpected hair thinning.
Baldness is difficult to cure because current treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil only prevent hair shedding, and new developments are mostly ineffective. Botox shows potential in aiding skin regeneration and hair growth, but maintenance therapy with treatments like dutasteride and minoxidil may still be necessary.
Transplanting mice skin to humans is not feasible due to immune rejection, but some suggest genetic modification or immune suppression could make it possible. Xenograft hair transplants are discouraged.
A breakthrough in hair follicle cultivation using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has been achieved, producing large hair follicles suitable for transplantation. Clinical trials for this hair multiplication technology are planned in partnership with Yinguan Biotechnology.
