3 or 4 years ago I found myself attending lectures on hair loss. The belief at the time, was that any sort of “CURE” for hair loss was approximately 10 years away. The same answer was given by several doctors. Now I completely understand that a cure will only come when it comes and that a doctor telling me that a cure is 10 years away, does not mean that I should set a timer and count the seconds, but I’m curious if science and technology supports that response? Has our knowledge and science progressed enough that a cure could be,….7 or 8 years away? or are doctors still saying 10?
It seems 10 years is a good round number and far enough away that we can promise these cures and just let the timeline slip. In reality, nobody really knows. I do not think anything significant has happened in the last 2 or three years to say the “cure” is 7 to 8 years away.

Intercytex is successfully growing hair on humans in clinical trials. Isn’t that significant progress in the past few years? 4 years ago all we heard about was a few doctors trying it on mice.
