A Cure for Baldness Finally Less than 10 Years Away
The media is continuing its frenetic coverage of the two big news items from a month ago in relation to:
- Stemson Therapeutics and its stem cell hair loss treatment.
- Columbia University and Dr. Angela Christiano’s 3D printing hair technology.
The latest major publication articles covering the above two stories have contrasting tones. This is evident from their respective titles:
- Soon There Will Be Unlimited Hair.
- Stem Cell Treatment May Cure Baldness One Day, But We Aren’t There Yet.
Which Company or Researcher will Cure Hair Loss First?
The sad part of countless such viral hair loss cure related news stories is that they do not even mention the two companies or research teams with the brightest prospects:
- Dr. Takshi Tsuji and RIKEN (Japan).
- Shiseido (Japan).
Both the above are well ahead of Stemson and Christiano/Columbia when it comes to timeline of product release. In fact, Dr. Tsuji has stated his goal to release his hair multiplication treatment by the end of 2020. Shiseido is aiming for a 2022 product release.
In any event, I chuckled when I read renowned hair transplant surgeon Dr. Bob Bernstein’s quote in earlier lined “The Atlantic” magazine article:
“For a long time, we’ve been saying this is 10 years away. But now it actually might be less.”
