The link is above. It's just kind of hard to believe that cloning will be available within 1-2 years when many of you on the forum have some pretty good insight on these follicle research companies. Could be a case of reckless journalism.

reckless journalism regarding hairlose?! what are you talking about? the media is the most reliable source when it comes to hairlose :whistle:

by the "Breakthroughs" in the media we should have a cure 15 years ago.... no one can give you a timeline for a cure, if its not on the market its not exist.

Well it seems that rather being an idea as it was decades ago, the technology actually exist now. The problem is perfecting it and then getting it through trials. Then the problem becomes the price involved.

I have no doubt that hair multiplication will be around within 15 years at latest. Possibly even within five. Whether we will be able to afford it is another story.

i checked the sources and citations on that article, they are just awful
1 of them is an advocate of laser hair restoration which is just bollocks
articles like this are the spawn of bad science
i wish there was more awareness of what is good science but people just take knowledge on face value and never question it
