Hey, have read these forums for a while, interesting stuff. I'm a 26 year old NW 4. Have been noticing losing my hair since 17. No surprise as my dad was completely bald by the time he was 21. Was on fin for a while (about age 17 to 20ish) and then decided to stop. Have definitely noticed an acceleration in hair loss since. I'm very optimistic about future treatments. I know "5 more years" has been said for a long time, and probably frustrates the hell out of the old timers, but i truly believe a lot of pieces to the puzzle are on the table now, it's just a matter of putting them together.
Don't think it will ever be "cured" in the sense you can just take a cream or pill and your old hair grows back, but, I think that regaining hair via things currently underway will be a reality within 5-10 years (probably closer to ten). You would go into a clinic, get some of your stem cells taken out (from AGA resistant hair follicles), get how ever many you want cloned, and have dermal papilla which has also been recently shown to be able to be cloned; both injected back into the scalp. Throw in a PG2 blocker and i believe it will be a reality to get it all back. Also to connect it all together maybe they would have your scalp put back into an "embryonic state" before injection of the cloned hair/papilla by wounding the skin. Who knows. Maybe I'm too optimistic, but I am a firm believer that past results don't always indicate future performance. Way too much money is on the table for this not to happen.
