Senior Member azazelgs Posted December 21, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted December 21, 2009 hi all, I'm 23, considering HT. However , I'm very curious about the studies about hair cloning and having a infinitive amount of donor hair. Has anyone knew the recent technologies and researches about this? Will that be possible some day?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Maxxy Posted December 21, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted December 21, 2009 I'm not sure if its classed as cloning but there are a few companies making all the right noises. Histogen for example recently did a broadcast in which they stated their treatment could be made available to the public by 2013 in Asia and I believe 2015 in the States.

There is incentive for companies to present a hopeful outlook in order to procure capital. This has been going on for a very long time.

This has been going on for a very long time. Yeah, I fully understand that this can and does go on. The only reason I mentioned Histogen really was that they are still at the pre-clinical trial stage and they have already presented results that over-shadows any other that I have seen from Intercytex in all the time they have been researching.

Regular Member Scorpian Posted January 18, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted January 18, 2010 Some HT doctors are promising cloning to lure people into their clinics, but I wouldn't bet on that until there's substantial proof. The best company working on a cure right now in my opinion is Aderans. They're in Phase 2 trials and we should have results from phase 2 sometime soon. If phase 2 was successful, they will move on to phase 3, which would allow a marketable product to come out within 5 years. If not, then it'll take longer for something to come out. The only downside is that Aderans works in partnership with Bosley, so who knows what might happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted January 18, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted January 18, 2010 Is the process of cloning essentially taking a sample of a patient's safe zone, cloning it, then implanting the cloned hair in the same fashion as a current HT procedure (minus the harvesting of course)?
