Is this the greatest scientific achievement of all time?

June 27 2019: Baldness cured at last

>Scientists from Sanford Burnham Prebys have created natural-looking hair that grows through the skin using human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), a major scientific achievement that could revolutionize the hair growth industry. The findings were presented today at the annual meeting of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) and received a Merit Award. A newly formed company, Stemson Therapeutics, has licensed the technology.

Use polygonum multiflorum, epsom salt and baking soda baths, and possibly some shatavari. The cheap and effective way to regrow hair.

>>10784337
This is amazing, but there are other implications. One is that we're now closer to making genetically engineered cat girls. If you can grow hair you can grow fur. The downside is that this also brings us closer to furries
>>10784743
This can be used to grow replacement teeth. You are aware of what rhino horn is made from right? They are made from the same substance as hair. So now it's just a simple matter of tweaking gene expression to make a horn in your mouth. Downside is that you'd have to wear it down all the time or else it fill up your mouth.
>>10785640
you're just made because that's expensive. Similar medical procedures will be just as expensive.
