I think they need some human guinea pigs, and start testing this on humans to confirm it does anything. Once you have proof it does anything in humans than you can release this hype video. Its hard to get hyped for something in this early of a stage.
Anyways sounds good, but who knows if its ever applicable to male pattern baldness.

Organ cloning is gonna come out before the hair loss cure.
Don't get your hopes up, especially on this found by accident medication, although penicillin was found by accident as well
Using electricity to heal sounds like it's taken out of a star trek movie, i don't see how the body can regrow faster by shock, but hey.. i ain't no doctor

Best article EVER. Hands down. I would give it ten thumbs up if I could.
I evaluate these sorts of technologies all the time as an investor. The path from promising tech to effective treatment is ridiculously long and treacherous. These types of "breakthroughs" are one in a million. So no, this is unlikely to be the answer...sorry.
However, there has been tremendous progress made in the last few years on actual treatments. I've looked at investing in Histogen and there's also a new company from Boston called Frequency Therapeutics that has promising, tested tech for regrowing tissue/hair cells.
Problem is this stuff takes so much time and money to develop and the requirements are extremely steep to get to a marketable treatment. For example, a phase 3 trial will always cost upwards of a $100M investment. That means the risk-adjusted potential value of the drug has to be $1B+.
I think it will be another 5-7 years before we have a new commercial hairloss product to accompany finasteride and minoxidil.

This is probably one of the biggest medical breaks we have ever discovered, and will definitely change the
course of medical treatment in our life.
It wouldn't surprise me if tooth decay was actually curable in the future, without root canal and cavity
fillings.
