Regular Member Aussie19 Posted June 6, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted June 6, 2008 Here is more on the same study. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/men/article4045906.ece Notice the featured Doctor. 5 years is probably ambitious, but the future is brighter and brighter (and a hell of a lot better now than it was even 10 years ago).

Senior Member Chuckisduck Posted October 13, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted October 13, 2008 I hope that they are able to commercially distribute PD cells that don't lose their differentiation soon.

Senior Member imissthebarber Posted October 14, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted October 14, 2008 Yes I am definitely following this story as well, but 5 years is a number picked out of a hat, no-one really knows. All we can say is there do seem to have been some developments in the last few years. HealthyLiving - Baldness can come from either the father's or the mother's side of the family.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is basically still a transplant (much less violent and intrusive than today's HT, though) and it will require numerous interventions.
