Tsuji-lab (Team Tokyo)

[Thinning87]

Hey guys, just a thought:

"Tsuji lab created a hair germ and implanted it into the kidney of a mouse (subrenal capsule)...allowed it to mature. Took out the newly formed hair follicles and transplanted it on the back of the mouse using the FUT technique!"

Now, that is all good and well...but how are they going to grow the hair germs in a human study? They obviously can't implant it into our kidney cavities! Right?

So, that's where something really interesting came to my mind!

This is where Dr. Lauster's microchip technique comes in! Each chip contains six identical dynamic micro-bioreactors with three different micro-organoid culture segments (A liver, a brain cortex and a bone marrow micro-organoid segment) providing a feed supply and waste reservoirs.

With these chips, they might be able to grow them to full maturity!

I personally think Tsuji & Lauster are complementary scientific techniques, BOTH feeding off each other!

What do u guys reckon?

definitely good stuff, there's nothing to say besides hoping that research comes along this path. But for right now, we're better off working hard and living our lives.

so if this is ever gonna be reality, it is possible to place, for example. 60000 grafts. and there's not longer a need to take meds

I don't see how funding would be a problem.

Those who bring out the cure will have an absolute tsunami of money coming in.

Indeed it is.

I think it has more to do with the funding, on why the hair loss field doesn't have a cure or at least some thing better than minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.

The government will never help fund something like Male Pattern Balndess. That is why it's taking so long, and every 5 years there's another 5-10 years 'til the cure. It's as if they are giving us the run around.

The best I can do is just take my finasteride/dutasteride pills and put on my Rogaine, and cover myself up with Toppik. Maybe i'll get some thickening and regrowth, enough to move on for a little while.

I honestly cant see it - every damn year it's the same story: we're 5 years away... we're 5 years away... every other field seems to be steaming ahead and throwing out remarkable new treatments while we're still stuck in 1985 (minox & fin).

It seems all the researchers in the hair loss industry are either snake oil salesmen or all the people who weren't smart enough to research an "important" disease.

C'mon, UK_, that attitude isn't going to get us anywhere. Try exuding some optimism! A lot of good things are happening, and very fast. Try to see that.

I like to be as optimistic as the next guy...I'm with UK here. Progress might be made, but progress for MPB is moving at a snails pace.

I don't care about treatments 10 years away. What's happening in the foreseeable future?? I want updates on treatments making serious progress for the now not the maybe 10 years out progress. I'm tired of it. I'm tired of balding NOW!

[clandestine]

I can shed some light:

Nothing has happened and we are still 10 years away.

Dont be a pessimist. We know nothing yet.

Lets try and bring this thread back on topic. There is a hairloss rant section on this website for these types of discussion.

I've found some ground breaking articles on Hair regeneration!.

Can you share some light on these des? Cheers bud.

It's crazy how you can be very attractive and how something like hair can impact that DRAMATICALLY.

That thing bit me hard lately. Being bald in the terminal NW6-7 stage, I often wear hats for protection (some nice military-style ones in several colours). I was some time ago in the supermarket with my teen daughter (30 years younger than me) and with such a hat on my head, when a guy started talking to me. At some point he said "and I suppose this is your sister", referring to my daughter. I said of course "no, this is my daughter". The guy was like . My daughter was very happy she got a big brother and dad in one package.

Do I need to explain why I still keep asking how this kind of $hit (AGA) happened to me? Fortunately, people around here don't seem to care much about it.

I swear, living in a city full of shallow bitches... and to reject it as a social problem? Yeah *****ing right. I hate Toronto. I wish I never left europe.

Judging from my own personal experience and from what I read from you guys, I believe that, indeed, Europe is a better place for bald people. I see so many young bald guys around and no one cares. I am myself bald but the guys I talk about are more than 15 years younger than me.

I was following earlier this year in a forum a discussion about what girls like on guys. Not surprisingly, hairstyle was in the agenda. But then I asked what if someone is bald? The answer would leave the average U.K.-U.S. member of this forum speechless: well, that too can be trendy! Yes, the forum was not in America, it was in a (continental) European country.
