Has there been any progress on cloning hair follicles? I don’t want to move the hair around. I simply want more hair.

I saw a headline about this the other day. I couldn't find it but did come across this article. https://www.zmescience.com/medicine/genetic/lab-grown-hair-f...

No idea if ZME science is reputable at all.

Totally unreputable. That is not a scientific journal. That is some guy (Who's degree is in geophysics) biog. The article was written by him.

Could I donate mine to you? Been shaving my head for the last 20 years and I cannot wait for it to stop growing eventually... Seemingly it grows faster every year, as I need to continuously increase how often I trim it, I simply want less hair.

Edit: I love that someone downvoted me for offering my hair follicles to a random stranger, downvotes truly happen randomly here :)

		You can't donate hair follicles .. it has to come from your own body

Just in time for fusion energy?

		Yes, imagine endless energy and endless hair. It's like nuclear and hippy again, but stronger and ai-government-mandated

		No no fusion energy company is going public shortly so the technology must be closer than that :)

There wasn't an effective weightloss drug until suddenly there was though.
