community Hair follicle cloning is already possible

in Chat 38 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair follicle cloning is claimed to be possible but not widely available due to potential safety issues, such as cancer risks. Current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride are not effective for everyone, and there is frustration over limited access to these medications.

community Is There Any Chance Of Cancer In Follicle Neogenesis through Microneedling?

in Microneedling 17 upvotes 6 years ago

The conversation discusses concerns about the potential risk of cancer from creating new hair follicles through microneedling, due to stem cell division. Specific treatments mentioned include microneedling, caffeine-containing anti-hair loss shampoos, and other unspecified topicals.

community Functional hair follicles grown from stem cells: Scientists have created natural-looking hair that grows through the skin using human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), a major scientific achievement that could revolutionize the hair growth industry.

169 upvotes 7 years ago

Scientists have grown natural-looking hair from stem cells, potentially revolutionizing hair growth treatments. Concerns include cost, DHT resistance, and the need for future procedures.

community Research: Minoxidil grows hair by suppressing androgen activity (DHT) in hair follicles.

in Minoxidil 43 upvotes 6 years ago

Minoxidil may suppress androgen activity in hair follicles, potentially aiding in hair growth and prostate cancer treatment. Users discuss the effectiveness of minoxidil and finasteride for hair maintenance and regrowth, with some preferring topical applications over oral due to safety concerns.

community Why not move miniaturized hair follicles somewhere else to treat them? Alternative to hair cloning?

in Research/Science 4 upvotes 1 year ago

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.
