too late for me.

how? This is literally planting new fertile bulbs in the dirt.

Hair cloning would be the only safe way to get a full head of hair. The only thing bugging me is how long does it take to clone 1000 grafts worth and what is the success rate when cloning the cells to create fully functional dermal papillae?

I'm gonna see if I can find the paper (as long as it has already been published)

This is an exciting time for us. Unlike in the past I think the cure is not far off, it's just going to be about who can actually afford it

Exciting stuff! As SDK said... wonder how much it'll be.

u still need to get a transplant. it just means there wont be a limit to the amount of grafts. i wouldnt really call it a cure.

and youll probably still need to ge on finasteride to stop shock loss and stop progression.
