hemophilia cure through iPSC and CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing

not hair-related (not yet) but for those who are interested in iPS cell and gene editing: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0723125501.htm

that's a huge breakthrough in my opinion. iPS and gene editing technology will lead to one cure after another in the coming years.
and yes, it was done in mice for now, but those two new biological technologies are said to work in all organisms, as they alter the very basic cells and especially the genetic code of cells. and we all know that the genetic code is the answer and cure to every disease.
one day it will be possible to modify the bad genes responsible for hair loss as well. of course, too late for us, but the day will definitely come, probably sooner than everyone would expect. i think we will see many many breakthroughs and even full cures for many diseases in the next 5 to 10 years. however, wide adoption and commercialization is probably 15 to 20 years away, mainly because of laws and bureaucrazy.

that kind of biological breakthroughs are impressing, which makes it even more unbelievable that we still don't have better hair solutions yet.
