Do any of the people who have studied Biology or generally know about stem cell research know how far away we are from this? I saw an article that step cells can be used to grow bone. Would this be a risky thing / are stem cell procedures expected to be super expensive?

Here is the research paper showing it’s possible.

I think this is great news as we could grow proportionally, but I’m sure it’ll be slow to pass FDA approval.

It also depends on the world. If there are getting more men who wish to be taller so they can live comfortably like everyone else in the futurr, this will drive scientists to invent something that people done growing can still gain a few inches taller. The most ideal way of doing it is growth plates reopening, and that may take decades to make it come true.

If it will be finished and applied to clinics then I'll also try it even after LL cuz I'm too short and LL can only offer me 12-13cm growth and that's not enough for me actually.I hope u can understand my despair

Very interesting articles particularly the last one on the journal of endocrinology. Looks like that won't happen in my time though unfortunately (maybe it will in China haha).

.

So far the only way to gain height after done growing is LL, but, hey, maybe there will be other invention that people can safely gain height. Never underestimate the power of technology.
