Hypothetical future technologies that could make an adult grow taller

Quote from: extremis on February 24, 2018, 04:09:07 AMIf by "that dude" you mean Michael from NaturalHeightGrowth, yes, he gave up. Most likely because he's old now (over 40 years). At that age, your life is more than half over and you're not going to attract any women, be better at sports, have higher fighting success, or basically anything useful just by being taller.

Tyler is delusional and doesn't want to give up on LSJL because he "pioneered" the technique and doesn't want to "kill his darling".

However, Dr. Eben Alsberg has ALREADY succeeded in creating artificial epiphyseal cartilage. Dr. Alexander Teplyashin has done so as well, and even implanted the cartilage into lambs (every one of them had longitudinal bone growth as a result of the implants) and a human patient whose finger bone grew after the implant:

A few days ago we had that thread about a successful bone lipograft procedure where the head doctor in charge of the procedure even said the technique could be applied to short-statured patients to increase their heights by "tens of centimeters".

Bone implant technologies evolve by the month:

As well as stem cell technologies allowing for the mass production of induced Pluripotent Stem Cells, the very highest "tier" of stem cell that is capable of transdifferentiation into ANY type of cell - including mesenchymal stem cells, which are the basis for epiphyseal cartilage, muscle cells, connective tissue, and nerve cells:

"50 years" is an absurd timeframe for an effective, superior alternative to CLL. Even 20 years is VERY conservative. The foundation is already there in the form of both Teplyashin and Alsberg's research. All that's needed is to support for them and their research. If the short-statured community comes together to demand a new, superior solution for height increase (like the Androgenic Alopecia community does), we can EASILY have one within a decade.

I wonder how these technologies are doing nowadays.

anything new?

As others have stated here, there's growing interest in skeletal stem cells, and it seems like stem cell injections might be the future.

You would be able to increase your height by as much as 2.5 cms in one month. The patient would even be able to walk after the injections. Of course, the rate of bone lengthening was from guesses done before any type of clinical testing.

It would take the bones 3 months to regenerate (whatever that means). After the 3 months, the bones would lengthen by 8-10 cms. If we were to take a stab at what it means for the bones to regenerate, we believe that the 3 month time line actually refers to when the porous implant would completely dissolve and the stem cells inside would differentiate into the bone material that is surrounding it.

What happens is that the stem cells are first placed into a type of porous material. In the articular cartilage to create something like a growth plate. What is left is the stem cells, which differentiate into the right type of cells to expand the spacing of the bone.

Alexander Teplyashin was one of the first people to do this on animals successfully, his latest research papers are from 2012. I believe he will be resuming his studies soon enough.

For those in their late teens don't do LL. Wait for stem cell therapy, its probably a decade away or so, but the guys before me posting here are coping (LOL muh 50 years) because they are forced to do this - because they can't wait and will lose physical abilities. I'm 19, so I would rather wait for this, and get this treatment in my late twenties.

Indeed. The Chinese are pragmatists. They will enforce and push for the "Gattaca"-experience.

I've read this sh*t back in the 90s.

For adults, I imagine just better versions of devices like Precice with advanced drugs to speed along recovery time. Better pain management. For children, we'll have gene editing, or at least better formulations of HGH that cost much less.

Will it be possible to unfuse growth plates in the future? Is there any research in that direction going on?

Thats a joke.
Becoming taller via stem cells and all these bs will happen in much more years than 10.
You can wait till you are 40 to do LL abd even then most probably the best we would have is a better stryde, but it is stupid to suggest other young adults to wait and lose their best years being short for nothing.

Most of LLers regrer only that they haven't done LL at a younger age, nothing else.
Personally I did it at my 23 so I am ok but I wouldn't have been the same person I am today if I have waited 5+ years more.
So some of you eho think that being 18-19 is too young and have many time to do LL, I assure you that you will be 30 before even realizing it and then you'll see that some of your best years have gone for nothing and for no "miracle therapy" that would turn you 6ft with some injections.

Anyway, anyone is responsible for his choices. But as an LLer I can guarantee that life is completely different with a good height so the sooner you get it (of course with a trustworthy and experienced doctor) the better you'll enjoy life.
Waiting 10years and all these are bs.

Quote from: myloginacct on February 22, 2018, 11:13:24 PMConsidering how important height can be, I'm surprised people don't go to even more drastic/extreme measures for height.

I mean, some people are already paying thousands of euros to inject hazardous substances in the soles of their feet, all for one or two centimeters.

lol what? 

Really?

True.

How tall are you now?

good point
