Scientists Regrow Tissue Killed During Heart Attack

Even if it's US$5,000 to begin with (or equivalent in other currencies) it's bound to come down in price over time just as laser eye surgery (for example) has.

Still not sure about laser eye surgery.. when eyes are at stake.. few percent potential side effects feels like a mountain of risk to me.

God please give us Replicel!!!!!

So annoying that that spray on skin stem cell thing does not work for hair.

It would be great if you could take stem cells from your donor area and spray them on your bald bits and have hair again.

There seems to be cures coming out for everything but baldness.

Only if its one time & permanent solution.
Otherwise even 5k is way too much.

It would be great if the cost was affordable to all walks of life, but lets face it, it won't be.

I'm sure it will be priced around the same as a transplant. Meaning, the more injections and/or cells that need to be regenerated the higher the cost.

Myself personally, if I had to spend $5k every 5 years, thats doable. It would suck, I'm a tight wad, but I could do it.

Hey Kirby

I agree with you. The price will go down no matter what the initial cost will be. The cost of the first iphone 'price drop' comes to mind. I believe the price of Rogaine went down considerably after it became over the counter ,,didnt it?

Minox and finasterside are much, much cheaper than they were initially, yes. So are cosmetic procedures such as Botox. It'll be the same with whichever next-gen treatments hit the market. Hopefully as many treatments as possible with emerge, from as many providers as possible, because nothing drives down prices like some healthy market competition.

Its not just the price we should worry about..
Unless the treatment is all effective, one time, permanent & safe (something that doesn't apply to any of the current treatments), then regardless of the cost, it would become just another of many quasi-solutions we already have.
