How far away are we from these technologies?

1) stem cell and Hair follicle cloning
2) Technology to modify other people's hair follicles to use on your own head without using anti rejection medication
3) hair follicle regeneration in donor area
4) 90%+ Reactivation of dormant follicles from your younger years
5) extraction of donor follicles without visible scars to the naked eye

Which one of these would be likely and closest to reality?

#5, 2016.
#4, no one knows.
#3, could be 2016 (just watch and wait for pilofocus, it will be more refined as time goes by)
#2, no one knows, I don't think it's a major focus at all.
#1, no one knows.

Imagine if you could transplant another guy's lush hair follicles of similar color and consistency onto your balding head without the dermis or epidermis rejecting it? That would be....AWESOME.

Imagine if you could steal someone elses follicles and reverse social standing? You get a bit of pleasure in life at the expense of someone else? It's not like WE aren't on the receiving end right now... would be nice for US to be privileged for a bit.

Japanese experts to facilitate organ transplantation has signed an invention. Experts developed a new technique, the user can move the front of the body rejecting the transplanted organ. ALSO, organ transplants performed in the person's life should not remain in the use of medication.

The news of the Asahi newspaper published in Japan Hokkaido Gore jointly developed by experts from the Juntendo University, Inc. routing techniques that are installed on the blood cells were recorded. Other plays a role in organ transplant rejection in blood cells was recorded. Studies on 10 patients, 4 patients in the frame, after organ transplantation are not using any medication that was lowering the rate of 6 six months on the drug significant other quantities.

Professor Satoru Todo from Hokkaido University, Juntendo University of Ile method developed jointly by Professor Ko Okumura, organ transplant recipients both before and getting the white blood cells of the donor. These two blood cells co-cultivated. 2 weeks after transplantation, these new blood cells are injected into the recipient's body.

Patients since November 2010. In view of Studies has been saved successfully.

Yea and then who would give up their hair so that you could have a full head of hair? The donor would then be bald as you are bald - who is stupid enough to do that?
And don't say that you would buy the hair follicles of poor people in foreign countries because harvesting donor tissue in that manner would be considered highly unethical and it's doubtful that the medical community would be involved with that. It might even be illegal because you are talking about intentionally disfiguring another person so you could be better looking. I understand that you don't want be bald/disfigured but I do not think that the civilized medical community is going to be involved with you disfiguring another person (the donor) so that you can be cured of your disfigurement.

Has anyone seen this? http://hplusmagazine.com/2015/03/26/...tside-the-u-s/


Apparently in Brasil outside the jurisdiction of regulatory agencies they are offering anti-aging treatments. Untested ofcourse. Something is wrong here. They are ready to mess with telomeres but still no baldness cure. I get it now what hellouser was talking about.

Heh at this point I think I'm sooner gonna get anti-aging treatments than a baldness cure. Although in that case I have more time to wait for one.

For quite some time I have this hunch that lengthening telomeres in the cells responsible for hair could in fact restore some of the damage done by DHT. Balding might really just be a hyper-accelerated cell senescence triggered by DHT.

Mice (study link ) got their hair back in original youthful quality when the telomere lengthening enzyme telomerase was reactivated in their bodies (they were engineered to have little to no telomerase production in their cells). Not an evidence it would do anything for dht affected hair but ... what if?
