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.
Finasteride is debated for causing dry eyes, with some users experiencing relief after stopping it, while others find no connection. Topical treatments like dutasteride and minoxidil are suggested as alternatives, with advice to consult medical professionals.
