We need jebus.

Look, on a serious note, I recently read an article about a team of Japanese scientists cloning 500 mice.

That's the creation of 500 clones, an army of cloned mice... But...

Cloning a human hair follicle? Impossible.

Their study is published today in the journal Cell Stem Cell.

In an experiment that started in 2005, the team led by Dr. Teruhiko Wakayama has used a technique called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SNCT) to produce 581 clones of one original 'donor' mouse, through 25 consecutive rounds of cloning.


We gotta get dr wakayama to work on hair cloning,
dr nigam can you pls get in touch with this dude, he knows his sh!t

Good one, champ! You're my boy blue!

Real ******ing insightful here.

Cloning a whole animal is a very different process (easier) than cloning a single, self supporting organ (which is essentially what a hair is).

This is not a useless thread, we now have a place for anyone to post any miracles if they come across them.

I know, it really absolutely makes no sense whatsoever. But then again, there are an infinite number of "scientists" who get paid to tinker with mice for their entire career, yet never do a damn thing for humans.

What these companies (replicel, histogen, ari etc) probably fail to realize is that their demographic isn't only 50 year old men who want their hair back but also young guys who want to stop their hairloss aswell. I'm only 16 and nobody should ever be cursed with this disease at such a young age. No 16 year old should have baldtruthtalk as their most visited website and no 16 year old should be spending as much time as i do researching treatments for baldness.

All I want is a good way to restore my hairline and keep it like that. I'm probably going to be bald by my 22nd birthday, and that terrifies me. I would trade one of my feet and however much money they ask for too get my hairline back and keep it for the rest of my life. You guys who are balding in your mid 20's have it easy, in that age it's actually not uncommon to start balding and quite socially acceptable but 16? It's ridiculous. The fact that I'm still way too young for any good treatments (Fin, Dutas) makes this whole situation even worse. If I could i would get on Dutas in a heartbeat

If these companies realized that 16-20 year olds are going through this too and would shower them with money for a cure i think they would hurry the **** up. I try to keep optimistic about the new treatments but the latest news from Histogen and Replicels clinical trails were really underwhelming and as it is right now, yes, we do need a miracle.
