What is the future of limb lengthening? What do you hope to see happen?

If you think that in less than 30 years there will be a non invasive alternative to get taller then wait for it.
You will just become an old man waiting for nothing.

Personally I am not delusional and know that there wont be a non invasive akternative at least till I get old.
You can't wait by leting your life pass as being short for a delusion, not my problem.

It can give you cancer if exposed to light, afair?

Is Gnail the future/anything good about it? Or once the next precise/stryde model comes out it is finished?

Ex: any reason clicking is better than magnetic?

So this is its tl;dr?

"A functionally improved indirubin derivative, KY19382, elongated tibial length through delayed senescence and further activation of the growth plate in adolescent mice. Collectively, our findings reveal an important role for CXXC5 as a suppressor of longitudinal bone growth involving growth plate activity."

wait... KY19382... isn't that the upcoming hair loss treatment via WNT pathway modulation or something?

What makes them special?

Absolutely no. Gnail or any other mechanican nails have only disadvantages compared to a fully weight bearing magnetic nail like stryde.

Edit Post

We are sort of in this odd situation where there is data against the Stryde nail. So G-nail is the next best weight bearing option. There is no data against the G-nail that is getting it recalled but I wonder

Or is G-nail so similar to Albizzia that we don't need to worry/it is safe?

I think the future of LL would be safer and easier. Probably no surgery needed.

That's not happening anytime soon. The only way that's possible is if we find a way to un-fuse growth plates, which will be difficult since after they fuse they are pretty much indistinguishable from the rest of the bone.

I reckon stem cells oriented. The problem is funding, and no centralized support.
