    The pertinent quotes from the op's link:


    IBN Team Leader and Principal Research Scientist Dr Andrew Wan elaborated, “Measuring the diameter of a strand of hair, our hair follicle-like structure exhibits similar cell behavior as real hair follicles. In our model, the hair cells are implanted into very fine and transparent fibers, which can be easily examined under the microscope unlike conventional models, making them ideal for drug testing applications.”

    The IBN researchers found that the cells in their hair follicle-like structures switched on genes that are usually active during the hair growth stage, and when transplanted into mice, they could grow further into natural-looking hair structures.

    If commercialized, this technology could be used by pharmaceutical companies in the drug discovery stage to screen potential promoters or inhibitors of hair formation. Consumer care companies would also be interested in this technology platform as it would allow them to screen the effectiveness of active ingredients in personal care products for hair growth.

    No need to diss propecia just because it does not work for you. Guys who are brave enough to take propecia are the ones who are on top of the hairloss fight.

    Thats being complacent. Might as well disregard all the efforts and discoveries by Dr. Lauster, Tsuji Labs, Aderans, Replicel, Histogen etc.

    Like someone said, propecia is really the devil's medicine for hair loss. I'm still proud I made the decision (along with my GP and my dermatologist) never to touch it, but I respect people who chose to take it.

    On top of the hair loss fight? Maybe, but at what price? You don't know what you're looking at in the long or even short-term? As Spencer often says on the show "I don't know if I'm gonna get some bizarre form of cancer". I hate when I read spooky stories about minoxidil (which I'm using) like facial aging but, you can wake up in a few months and notice your chest is swollen, you can find yourself in bed with a girl and not be able to keep it up etc. So yeah, you propecia users are all very brave, but you make it sound like non-users are such pussies for not taking a drug who could make them impotent, grow boobs or make their balls ache, and I don't like it.

    or maybe is simply a troll or somebody who gains by saying that. but anyway we look the facts , that propecia doesn't work for the goal of regrowth plus could be worst sides than losing hair (is relative) so make your calculations and take decision. i will never take it. anyway propecia is the past. good bye propecia. lol

    there's currently nothing available that works at stopping hair loss better than finasteride. it gets a terrible rep which is unjustified IMO. anti-depressants can cause seizures and permanent brain damage but you never hear about it

    Antidepressants don't cause brain damage and seizures, just like finasteride doesn't cause you to lose you penis. Unjustified to say something like that about AD too in my opinion.
